Can't utilize ISSU, but will I have an outage?

Hello. I need to upgrade the code on our two Nexus 5548's in order to facilitate the installation of a few FEX's, but due to the fact that seemingly all of my port-channels are in the STP DESG forwarding state, an ISSU upgrade is not possible. Everything connected directly to our 5548's are utilizing VPC's, including an HP Blade chassis, and several Netapp devices. If I follow the normal upgrade route, should I experience an outage, or should the secondary switch just continue passing traffic? I've attached a diagram.

I guess I could just unplug my backup links, which should be in blocking mode, and turn off STP?
