The only good news here is that if the app's "installation routine" consists of extracting a tar archive you could create the app's filesystem with the same name on different disks in a separate volumegroup.
A complete mksysb is vital and I agree you should not start the upgrade without. I may add another hint: given that your rootvg is mirrored correctly you could use alt_disk_install to speed up the upgrade procedure. From the man page:

Description
The alt_disk_install command allows users a way to update the operating
system to the next release or maintenance level, without taking the
machine down for an extended period of time. This can be done in two
ways, by installing a mksysb image on a separate disk, or by cloning
the current system and then applying updates to get to the next
maintenance level.
