I don't find it so, but it seems subjective ... YMMV.

I would just copy the database (CREATE DATABASE WITH TEMPLATE) to a test
throwaway one, do the ALTER SEQUENCE there, point the application to it,
and see if it works.  If it does, drop that database and repeat the
ALTER SEQUENCE in your original database.
