The official recommendation is to upgrade with the force-host option.
The consequences are generally none. But the mixing of host versions is NOT tested at all in the Junos QA process. So there is a risk of software bugs by mixing the host and Junos versions.

Subject: Upgrading QFX5100
While upgrading QFX5100, I noticed that host OS was different that rest of the versions. I saw that we can use force-host while installing the Junos image. I was wondering what will be the consequences of keeping Junos host OS different that other versions? Also, what is official recommendation?
