Hi Chris, There shouldn't be from our end, but it's always worth doing a test upgrade on a copy of the database before you do anything in production, and to have a full backup of everything for production before applying the upgrade.
With MySQL in particular, there are things outside our control that can go wrong. For instance, depending on the version of MySQL used when Review Board was installed, you may have tables created in one format (MyISAM) that aren't compatible with the default format for tables on newer versions of MySQL (InnoDB), and this can lead to errors during upgrade that require reverting, fixing, and trying again (or a manual database repair, something we offer under support). We've also encountered conflicts with indexes (depending on versions of Django or Django Evolution installed when particular tables were created) and seen issues with in-house modifications to databases (an index here, an Alter Table there...). So these are things to be aware of before a major upgrade.
