Most things will work fine with slightly mismatched kernels, but it's not recommended to do this (some utilities may not work properly).
How would someone recommend upgrading 500 hundred remote sites spread throughout
Thoroughly test on identically configured machines, roll out incrementally and make sure you have a fallback (i.e. console access) in case something goes catastrophically wrong.
