HPE Simplivity esx upgrade to 7 and moving to a new vcenter

Hi, 

we have vsphere 6.7 both vcenter and esx servers in simplivity.
Servers are HPE 380G10 (SVTSP_2019_1216.01), simplivity cluster version is 3.7.10.200

We want to install a new vcenter server 7 (old one is having some issues), upgrade esx and firmware - so the whole system.

Which is the best way to do all this?
I was thinking of starting with new vcenter, move all esx servers under that one by one like here https://community.hpe.com/t5/HPE-SimpliVity/Can-we-manually-add-the-host-into-the-new-vCenter-if-the/m-p/7024500#M161

And then upgrade esx servers to 7 and firmware.

Am I missing some important thing here?
