  Just updated mine and not dare to restart now.

  Mentally strong people configure networking the Debian way and confidently restart their server.

  Is your ethernet device named eth0 right now? If it's already using a different name and working, then it's probably fine.

  You can check ifconfig to see what it's using.

  Otherwise, check /etc/default/grub to make sure the file is there and it has these options in the cmd line:

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"
  

  If it's already there, it should be OK to reboot. If not, edit the file to include those options and then do an "update-grub"

  If the file is missing, maybe there's a grub.ucf-dist file you can copy, and verify it's set correctly, then do an "update-grub"

  Then it should be OK to reboot.

  I upgraded two proxmox servers and had network issues for both. One was related to Realtek 5Gbps nic driver and pve-headers and the other looks like crash and reboot, several times. /shrug

  Here is mine:

  GRUB_DEFAULT=0                                                    GRUB_TIMEOUT=5                                                    GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk>GRUB_TERMINAL="console serial"
  GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=115200"
  

  and unfortunately it uses eth0.

  You can try inserting the "net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and running "update-grub" before rebooting.

  Or you can just make sure vnc is working, and if it has a problem, you can make that change over vnc and reboot again.

  I had a similiar GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX on my vps at Host-C that uses eth0, and I didn't have a problem with that one, but it was using a slightly different "-cloud" kernel "6.1.0-34-cloud-amd64".

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk=ttyS0,115200 consoleblank=0"
