You don't have to transfer FSMO role to a different DC if you are not performing activities like Schema modification/update, Exchange installation, Domain update etc..

You will not be able to do that. Creating a new machine with the same name and same ip will not automatically add your new server to the domain. You will have two choices:

or
2. install base os and run dc

By definition, the impact of a maintenance task is expected to be low.
But the behavior of a server isn't always predictable after you change

I've not worried about transferring the FSMO roles for general maintenance
