Andre reminded me that there is a problem with upgrading the job queues that have any items in them In https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/46934.
I would like to include a warning in the installation documentation to clear your job queue before the upgrade, but I don't know that much about the job queue in MW or even if this is possible.
Are there any recommendations for what to tell users?

You can clear your job queue (run all jobs in it) by running maintenance/runJobs.php and disabling user write access temporarily to prevent new jobs from being created.
Whether or not that is reasonable advice is another question. Otoh most jobs are rather unimportant if a bunch get lost (couple emails might not be sent. Some caches might have to wait for next edit to be cleared).

Wouldn't a purge also create refreshlinks jobs?

Purges don't update the links table (unless you do it from the api and add an extra argument). They only clear the parser cache + varnish cache +file cache of the immediate page. (So they don't trigger HTMLCacheUpdate jobs for redirects either afaik)
