Comment (by EmilStenstrom):
Slightly off-topic but maybe interesting: The Wordpress team did convert
all their users from utf8 to utf8mb4 according to [this blog
post](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/04/02/the-utf8mb4-upgrade/).
Looking at the code it seems they just dropped and recreated all the
indexes: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-
admin/includes/upgrade.php#L2687
And then converted all the tables one by one:

admin/includes/upgrade.php#L1951
