Correct, in fact if you do it with the link option, it will be very fast.


But so many articles on having bugs afterwards.
Do you think it is a good idea to use pg_upgrade for critical database
application?

It entirely depends, I have successfully used pg_upgrade many, many times. That is what -c is for, to work out all the kinks before you upgrade.

Or any other tool should I consider? For example - slony?

On at 2.5TB database, you very well be doing a lot more harm than good using a tool such as slony.
