I often upgrade blindly and have had no issues, since iRedMail accesses MySQL through a library [abstraction layer] such as the one within Python which then interacts with MySQL Client which then interacts with MySQL Server, they have to keep their APIs constant, so nothing will break.

It is a very rough explanation, but it does the job.
