HOWEVER, I do not recommend doing it on VPS 9. Since if anything goes wrong, you’ll then need to request an OS re-install which the admins can only do for you. And due to the fact that the admins constantly emphasize that VPS 9 owners should never perform anything risky, I doubt that they’ll be happy with that request.
Well it depends, updating Debian to a next major release (version installed to version_installed+1) is not a critical process and you can improve your success rate by doing the update process on a fresh install of the OS.
I personally did it after the KVM refresh and it worked without any issue.
This tutorial is super detailed and if you follow it you will get a fully updated and working Debian
