Just so you know, I upgraded from 4.1 to 5 earlier and all I did was install 5, copy db's to 5's directory, setup all users (could've probably found an easier way but I only needed two...strictly a dev db), and remove the 4.1instance. Oh, I had to restart 5 after that but no sweat. All-in-all, without my forgetting to restart 5, it took like 20 minutes including download time.
I understand your hesitation though. If this was a live box I probably would've felt the same way.
