I'm using it at my office w/ about 10-15 users, but it does not have
to be 24/7 8)
Anyway, I do not encounter major (blocking) issues up to now, and I
resync from the trunk about once a week.

"trac-admin upgrade" upgrades your DATABASE, i.e. the SQL(ite) DB of
your selected project.
It has nothing to do with a code base upgrade.

In other words, a typical upgrade looks like the following: 
 1. you upgrade the Trac source code - from the trunk, or from another
official release
 2. you run the upgrade command to bring the SQL DB up-to-date with
the new Trac engine. Table structure change over time, so the table
structure is versionned, and the upgrade command looks for the current
version of the DB and the one required by the engine, and performs
upgrade if required. If you fail to upgrade the DB, you'll end up with
an "Internal server error", most of the time.
 3. optionally, you run the "wiki upgrade" to bring the original Wiki
pages up-to-date
 4. optionally, you run the "resync" command to sync the Trac SVN DB
with the current Subversion repository state.
