I have updated arch systems that had not been powered on for years before. It was fine. No issues what so ever. Arch is not some flaky distro that breaks if you look away for a minute. My main system has had had the same install for over 5 years now and I regularly forget to update it for months at a time. Again, no issues.

Yeah really the biggest issue I could see is pacman’s keyring being so out of date that it has to be manually refreshed with a new one
