Hmm, this question is making me hungry. I could really go for a nice StatefulSet sandwich right about now.

Converting to a StatefulSet and using a HorizontalPodAutoscaler scale-down policy of 0 is the most cautious approach, but it might be a bit too conservative. I'd probably go with the rolling update with a PodDisruptionBudget.

Converting the Deployment to a StatefulSet and using a PodDisruptionBudget of 80% is an interesting approach, but it might be overkill for a simple application update. Seems like a lot of extra complexity.

Using a HorizontalPodAutoscaler scale-down policy value of 0 might be a bit overkill. That would prevent any pods from being scaled down during the update, which could lead to a lot of unnecessary resource usage.

Using a PodDisruptionBudget of 80% is a safer option to minimize risk.

Rolling update with a PodDisruptionBudget of 80% sounds like a good way to minimize the risk. It'll ensure that a certain percentage of the pods are always available during the update.
