As long as you follow the described update steps that Ubuntu advices when installing updates kernels for example, then nothing will happen. This article only warns for some activities that normal people will never encounter. You shouldn't worry too much about the article, it should have been written more balanced and with more care as it scares people in the wrong direction.
