Personally I believe that you do not have to do these steps just to perform the restart. I know the node will start faster if drained before shutdown but according to my experience these steps make the restart process slightly longer (I mean stop + start phase, total). So if it is really about rolling restart to apply some JVM or C* settings I would simply kill it and start.
