From what I can gather, this will not be smooth at all, since I can't
make an inplace upgrade of the
OS first and then Ceph and neither other way around.
I think easier would be to upgrade one node at a time from centos7 to ... + 
nautilus. And when that is done do the upgrade to pacific.

My upgrade plan from Centos+Nautilus on bare metal is:
    #1. convert/upgrade to Octopus in podman containers
    #2 For OSD servers:
          - a fresh OS install of ... without touching the OSD devices
          - use final step of https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/46691 to recreate the systemd/var components to restore the OSDs.
    #3 For Mon/MGR servers:
            - use orchestration to vacate the server to be updated, install fresh ... OS with podman
            - use orchestration to redeploy mon/mgr to the server.

I've tested #1-3 on a dev cluster (Centos7+Nautilus -> Rocky8.5+Octopus) and recently completed step #1 on production.
