I read that the upgrade process upgrades the cache as well, so I guess
the other clients that access the same repo won't get their caches
upgraded, and will have to do a full rebuild instead?

In many use cases, the repo will never have been accessed directly from
the machine storing the repo, so there will be no existing cache on that
machine.  Presumably that's not a problem, and one could use the
--no-files-cache option?
