You can actually solve that problem using VM migration: live migrate the VM from the old qemu to the new qemu. Downtime should be minimal (a fraction of a second). Like a good daemon, qemu is able to serialize its internal state and reproduce it in another instance. So there is definitely a path to make this work if, for example, qemu was found to have a serious security bug.
