"config show" is showing you the mon IPs read from the OSDs' ceph.conf, and is what is used to initially connect to the mons. After that, my understanding is that those IPs don't matter as the OSDs will use the IPs from the mons for further connections/communication. However, I'm not certain what happens if, for example, all of your mons were to go down for a period of time; do the OSDs use the last monmap for reconnecting to the mons or do they revert to using the configured mon IPs? At the very least, you should be fine to replace all of your mons and update each ceph.conf with the new info without needing to restart the OSDs. After that it may be wise to restart the OSDs to both update the configured mon IPs as well as test to make sure that they can reconnect to the new mons without issue in case of a future outage.
