Yes. Restarting the *dm (due to the libc upgrade implied with basically any dist-upgrade) will in most cases terminate your X session. Of course, you may choose not to restart the *dm and hope that it's own upgrade doesn't *also* trigger a service restart (but instead whatever else is needed for it to reload its configuration). Because of all the possible ways to have your X session terminated, combined with the change from gdm to gdm3, I think the recommendation is reasonable.
