It's recommended to perform a dry run of the in-place major version upgrade in a non-production environment before upgrading the production server. It allows you to identify any application incompatibilities and validate that the upgrade completes successfully before upgrading the production environment. You can perform a Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) of your production server, and restore it in the non-production environment to test the upgrade there. Addressing these issues before the production upgrade minimizes downtime and ensures a smooth upgrade process.
