Yes, the upgrade problem is what is keeping us on 2.3.16 because of the impact on production services. I had hoped that we could replicate from 2.3.16 to 2.4.x which would hide the rebuild cost on the non-production replica and then failover to the replica to finish the upgrade. If you can think of any way to keep from killing production imap services when upgrading, it would be really helpful.
