I have never had a problem with this. Some objects in QGPL and QUSRSYS get replaced, just as they would if you were upgrading from CD. I have upgraded 30 systems this way so far (with 150 left to go) and it is by far the best way to go. I have a C/L program which does some preprocessing and then IPLs from the distribution tape. The LIC, O/S and licensed products are automatically restored. After the upgrade, the program QLPUSER in QGPL is called, if it is there, to do any post-upgrade processing. When you create the distribution tape you select an installation profile to use and that controls what gets restored. I also try to keep as much stuff as possible out of QGPL and QUSRSYS.
