Just answering my own question a bit over here, I saw [[https://forum.openwrt.org/t/is-opkg-upgrade-still-a-bad-idea/93501/|this thread]] and the related [[https://openwrt.org/meta/infobox/upgrade_packages_warning|wiki]] [[https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/generic.sysupgrade#savingrestoring_user-installed_packages|pages]] and which explains why this code path hasn't bothered others.

It's because the standard upgrade method is `sysupgrade`, with optional package list saving and reinstalling via [[https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/advanced/opkg_extras|this bonus script]].

This also explains to me why I keep having to do `sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=1` [[https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=2734|just to run updates]].
