Most likely your clients auto-upgrade frequently and you’ll come to a point with new Windows or MacOS version where you do need a Celerra upgrade as well
Dont worry – it works once the pre-upgrade health check script completes fine
I have never heard about an upgrade loosing data or config
Your config gets backup up regularly by the nasdbbackup anyway
You can also ask EMC support to do the upgrade for you
i have horror stories but that dates back to 2006 on really really old versions of Celerra hardware and DART OS, data was not lost but was very close to it.
Like Rainer suggested, get EMC on webex and have them do the upgrade for you. If they encounter any issues they can escalate internally much faster then you can as a customer.

By all means – upgrade
