Yes, you should be able to update the platform via p2. If you have the
platform zip, the platform.feature.group may be blocked by the
org.eclipse.platform.ide InstallableUnit. Try updating that instead.

Should I be able to update the org.eclipse.platform feature group of
an eclipse installation via p2? I initially tried this via Update
Manager and got errors. That got me thinking that I probably can't
pull the rug out from under the current Eclipse instance. So then I
moved to the cmdline and used p2 directory along with another eclipse
installation to drive the update (using -destination). But I got the
same errors.

So, at this point I'm thinking this is just not possible. Wanted to
get confirmation before I give up.
