I think that should suffice for now. If users do hit this issue, we can direct them to KCS article that talks how to get around this.

Upgrade host calls maintenance of host and activate. Maintenance of host stops glusterd process and activate calls glusterd service restart so the step to restart will not be needed.
Adding needinfo on Kaustav to confirm

On  upgrading, the host goes into maintenance mode upon which glusterd service is stopped. After upgrade host is again activated and glusterd process is restarted.
