This is important. Even if you do move some user accounts to bash, you
will regret it if you don't leave an account which you can login to and
obtain sufficient privileges to update packages.
OpenBSD makes changes reasonably often which require that binaries are
recompiled. For those which are in the base OS there's little problem
as kernel and userland are usually updated together. For those in
packages, it's not unusual for things to break occasionally after
system updates until packages are updated. (Not all the time, but
once or twice in a couple of years would not be unusual).
