Interesting. Boot times aren't an issue at all for me on my NAS because it's running on an old desktop processor and has plenty of performance. Both boot in <30s, and I leave them both on 24/7.
I tend to upgrade all my servers around the same time (RPi, NAS, VPS), and my laptop and desktop get updates about every week or two. I don't like leaving systems unpatched, so I stay on top of it. I haven't needed to swap HDDs in the 6-ish years I've had my NAS configured, so I guess it's not an issue I've run into. I'd probably just schedule it when I do a router firmware update (I run a Mikrotik router), which I do every few months as well, since that way everyone expects a little downtime.
