It is usually enough to change it to stretch, if you follow it up with all those update and upgrade commands. And read release documentation. But it is not good to go from stable directly to unstable. If you want to go to unstable, you first go to testing. Then, when you are sure that everything went fine, you switch to unstable. And, you make backup of your important data. Just in case.
