In job-1 we have thousand of servers in this configuration. On Linux 
server we just remove the interface from the bond before upgrading the 
concerned switch, and re-add after. I didn't know if we loss frame or 
packet, but from an end user point view it was transparent. Even if, TCP 
will do his job, and on UDP based application there re-transmission or 
control mechanism.
But if you cannot control the server side (this look strange by the way) 
you can just go on, after all lacp goal is also to provide redundancy.
