How to rename objects such as virtual servers

Hi,
 
We are evaluating the use of the 'mv' command in TMOS to rename objects such as virtual servers. We find the following in the documentation:
 
"WARNING Currently MV is an experimental feature. By using this feature,       
you may be subject to loss of statistics and disruption in GTM service.       
If you plan to move or rename a Virtual Server, please contact your GTM       
administrator before doing so. You may enable this feature by setting
the appropriate db variable. This can be done by issuing the command:
 
modify /sys db mcpd.mvenabled value true
 
This will turn on the feature and allow moving and rename of select
objects through TMSH only. Once you have finished using the feature, we       
recommend disabling it once again. You may do this by issuing the
following command:
 
modify /sys db mcpd.mvenabled value false
 
Please use responsibly."

We are talking about productive systems, so to risk doing that is not an option. Also pointed out here: https://community.f5.com/discussions/technicalforum/how-do-i-to-rename-a-virtual-serverpool-name-on-a-f5-ltm-/177240
 
We do not use the GTM service. However, has anyone answers to this: 
 
We are operating BigIPs running versions 16.x and 17.x. What is the official best practices for using the mv command in production environments?
 
What is the F5-recommended alternative for renaming objects — particularly virtual servers — in a way that minimizes risk and avoids manual configuration rebuilds?

Sincerely,
Raphael
