Since I'm paranoid and I know that "if something can go wrong, it will" ;-) I'd go the extra mile and create an archived backup (perhaps compressed with 7zip / p7zip, using maximum compression -mx9 parameter) of the .vdi / .vdk or whatever disk image file you're using, before making the upgrade. Just in case, you know. ;) Exporting the machine in its current state as an ovf "appliance" and storing it on another (perhaps external) hard drive is also a good security feature. But the above is just adding layers of redundancy. "just in case" ;) So, yes, I can't think of anything else besides what you proposed for a Linux distro version upgrade...
