Have you labbed this up?

You haven't, because you haven't yet run into the problem that you cannot
send a gratuitous ARP using e.g. ping on the VRRP virtual IP address.  The

You can't do this with zero outage, but does VRRP not send a g-arp when it becomes active on IOS?

If so, this might work

1. Shutdown hsrp slave
2. Configure VRRP group with fake IP, very short timers
3. "no standby" followed by "vrrp ..." to give it a real IP

The main risk is the g-arp being dropped/missed. It's a shame the masters don't send several, spaced at $hello_timer interval or something. This is a problem with changing HSRP group number too.

But it all depends if IOS VRRP will send a g-arp on "active"....
