I've done it with dozens of servers and it works. I remote admin a number of single-server environments and have upgraded them all from 7.1 or 7.2 to 7.3 using apt with great success. You have to understand a little bit about the differences between the version you are coming from and going to, the packages and their dependencies. For example, the upgrade did not go as smoothly if you did the dist-upgrade before installing the new kernel. Also, when GRUB was updated (or newly available) I had to manually update my MBR, etc. Some day when I have copious free time (if I ever see such a day again) I may try a 7.3->8.0 apt upgrade for kicks.
