Hi,
We're actually on very similar setup to you with 18.04 and Nautilus
and thinking about the 20.04 upgrade process.

As for your RGW, I think I would not consider the downgrade. I believe
the order is about avoiding issues with newer RGW connecting to older
mons and osds. Since you're already in this situation and not having
any issues, I would probably continue forward with the upgrade on
Mons, then Managers, then osds as per documentation. Then just restart
the RGW at the end.
I think that trying to downgrade at this point may introduce new
issues that you don't currently have.

This is just my opinion though, as I have not actually tried this. Do
you have a test cluster you could practice on?
I would be keen to hear how your upgrade goes.

Regards,
Richard
