At least one user upgraded with this guide and had some issues: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-43-upgrade-failed-had-to-manually-reboot-now-gdm-coredumps/170463/3

I only ever used the supported upgrade with the dnf plugin. Why is there this other guide in the documentation, what purpose does it serve and is it still justified to keep it? Maybe it should be made somewhat clearer that this is not at all a recommended way of upgrading.

This has been brought up in the docs meeting. Most people are for dropping this from docs, but we'll talk to the original authors first to find out why this was written in the first place and whether the reason for having this still applies.
