I think your safety first strategy is very valuable. But you could ask
the user if he wants an automatic upgrade. If this question is priority
high, most user will be asked every time they upgrade. Only those who
definitely don't want to be asked anything won't see the question after
entering their answer once. IMO that's a fair trade-off.
