You should be able to restart slurmctld with running jobs quite safely, if you are paranoid (like me) then just mark partitions down first so you know Slurm won't be trying to start any jobs just when you shut it down. We also have all our partitions (other than our debug one reserved for sysadmins) marked as "State=DOWN" in slurm.conf so that they won't start jobs when slurmctld is brought back up again.
