It's not necessary to do so in most cases, but, you might be interested in checkservices [0].
We use it when we update Arch servers, but we don't bring the system to rescue because, you know,
that would interrupt all the services. And almost all of them (all?), can run just fine until they
are restarted. So, my suggestion to you is, run pacman, and optionally run checkservices afterwards,
to restart things that might be needed, if you want. No need to put the system in rescue mode.
