Yes. You are right but still, suggest you go with offline configuration.
- Open proactive request with the f5 vendor
- Verify console connectivity
- Backup existing configuration
- On activity day, start upgrade process with standby
- Relicense standby device
- Upgrade the device to a new version
- Boot with new volume/version
- Failover the traffic from active to newly upgraded device
- Verify the connectivity and compare pre and post-upgrade configuration
- Do similar steps (5 to 9) for another device

I had a doubt on step 8 - Let me drop my queries in very clear way. Please reply question wise.
- Do I need to perform Force Offline before following steps - 5 to 7 ?
- Do I need to do Release Offline before upgrade or post upgrade ?
- Will it come as Standby as it was earlier before the upgrade ?
After I ensure the traffic flow and in-out packets, I should follows the below steps -
- Do I need to Force Standby the Active ?
- Do I need to make Active as Force Offline ?
- Do I need to follow the same upgrade steps like what I did for Standby ?
- Now Active comes up as Active ?
- Do I need to do sync ?
