I think you would still need to kill the process manually, AFAIK systemd
only stops glusterd not the other Gluster processes like
glusterfsd(bricks), heal process etc. Reboot of system is not required, if
that's what you meant by reboot. Also you need follow all the other steps
mentioned, for the cluster to work smoothly after upgrade. Especially the
steps to perform heal are important.
