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).

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?
