to re-iterate on edhans words- as long as there aren't breaking changes, you should be able to deploy it into Production dataset and without any downtime for the users. When there are breaking changes, you will get a notification and you can decide to stop the deployment.
Another option is to use pipeline's ADO extension to schedule deployments at night time, and run a refresh right after that.
