Backups are always required. You never know what might happen. Your entire system can become unusable trying to update and you have to reinstall Ubuntu. If everything goes correctly, you shouldn't loose any apps.

That said, what's the point? I'd wait until Ubuntu 11.10 is released and just install that. Safest, cleanest way to do it as Ubuntu 11.10 runs over Gnome 3.
