I know that two customers have asked for disk snapshots prior to
their upgrade to wheezy, and have later come back saying the
snapshots were no longer needed as the upgrade was successful.

I have done at least 10 upgrades myself on BitFolk VPSes of my own,
but they were all prior to wheezy's release. I didn't experience any
issues, though I would expect any major problems to be restricted to
certain packages. For example, I have heard that the configuration
format for dovecot completely changed between squeeze and wheezy.

There are some nodes which run kernels that would lead to barrier
operations failing in this way, so it's probably best if you try it
and see. If you do experience it then you'll need to put "barrier=0"
in your /etc/fstab and reboot.

Cheers,
Andy
