of course client side push to all the dev desktops with subversion 1.7 will also be done simultaneously.
This is not necessary, you can switch one client first, then other clients and finally switch the server. BTW: 1.7 is still not yet released, though it's really really close now, AFAICT.
is it really that simple?
Yes, your approach is correct. I'd suggest testing that though, e.g. by using a separate system.
I had read about previous upgrades to 1.6 (from 1.4.x or 1.5 ) and that the dump and load was mandatory ...
This is not mandatory, but the organisation of the repository changed to the better in recent versions, so a dump and reload is strongly suggested. In particular things like merge tracking have improved, IIRC.
I did try a quick repo tar and bring up in the new 1.7 rc3 subversion server environment, access with file protocol and a local checkout and verified all the subversion magic in place with the top level .svn, log with diff option, the amazing checkout speeds and hence am really excited with the prospect of quick move. The only fact that left me a bit puzzled was that the repository format still showed 5, inspite of doing a svnadmin verify with subversion 1.7 rc3 with no error reported, ...
Well, an "svnadmin verify" hopefully doesn't modify the repository. Good luck!
