Yes, but it's a very rare event. Maintaining state (form fields) makes it less of an issue. As I said, most deploys are at 4am at extremely low usage (usu zero), and even then a refresh is only needed if the backend has had breaking changes. A severe bug requires a mid-day deploy, but in my experience most severe bug fixes are only a few lines and therefore aren't a breaking change so don't require a refresh.
Our way wouldn't work well if you had 24 hours of heavy load, but most apps I've written have been US-only with low nightly usage (HR, K-12 admin, power grid, medical).
