I am rolling out my first Nexus’ so I used your guide and started browsing around. I came to this exact conclusion last month when Cisco released “Patch hell June” where there were nearly 60 vulnerabilities released. We had to patch the core and during the reboots, I documented ever outage so I could introduce more redundancy. In many cases, it will be breaking apart my switch stacks so that one reboot will not take down both sets of ports.

In any case, I concur with your conclusions, just wish I would have found this a couple of years ago… it may have influenced my design decisions for the better.
