I have never trusted pg_upgrade on production databases. This is where it is
actually targeted to (to minimize downtime). I have always done full
pg_dumpall and then full recreation of the database system, which
unfortunately in my cases take few hours. With so many little changes in the
structures pg_upgrade it is probably not very safe method anyway?

Just my opinion. :-)
