While not all of those locations may be transformed automatically, there are a few delayed CodeUpgradeTasks also referred to as Lazy Content Migration. This allows customers to trigger those automatic transformations by restarting the instance with this system property:
While the aim is an efficient execution, this upgrade process is synchronous and therefore comes with a downtime depending on the amount of content that must be processed. Adobe recommends evaluating the run times on a stage environment ahead of a production system to plan an according maintenance window.
As this typically also requires adjusting application, this activity should be performed along with the corresponding application deployment.

Immediate
Due to merge_preserve handling, the secure by default deny rule overrides given permissions leading to the need to reorder on upgrade
CQ62Html5SmartFileUpgrade
< 6.2
Immediate
Detects components using the Html5SmartFile widget, searches for usages of the component in the content and restructures persistence, effectively moving the binary a level down and not store it on component level.
Cq62ProjectsCodeUpgrade
< 6.2
Immediate
Moves old style projects from /etc/projects to /content/projects
Cq62TargetCampaignsContentUpgrade
< 6.2
Immediate
Introduces a container layer to hierarchy (Areas) and adjusts references.
Cq62TargetContentUpgrade
< 6.2
Immediate
Sets fixed location names to target components.
Cq62WorkflowContentUpgrade
< 6.2
Immediate
Complex transformation of workflow models predating 6.2 structures, instances, notifications, then merging back from the backup location from /var/backup
CQ63AssetsMetadataFormsUpdate
< 6.3
Immediate
Moves assets, custom metadata schemas, and processing profiles from /apps to /conf and translates the metadata schema and metadata profiles forms from coral2 to coral3.
CQ63AssetsSearchFacetsUpdate

Immediate
Moves assets and custom search facets from /apps to /conf and translates the metadata schema and metadata profiles forms from coral2 to coral3.
CQ63InboxItemsUpgrade
< 6.3
Immediate
Updates InboxItems for ordering of inbox items (adjusting metadata for efficient sorting)
CQ63MetadataSchemaConfigUpdate
< 6.3
Immediate
Adjusts the metadataSchema property on folder by replacing relative paths to /conf in place of /apps
CQ63MobileAppsNavUpgrade
< 6.3
Immediate
Adjusting navigation structure
CQ63MonitoringDashboardsConfigUpdate
< 6.3
Immediate
Moves custom configurations for the monitoring dashboards from /libs and /apps
CQ63ProcessingProfileConfigUpdate

Upgrade task that removes obsolete CRXDE Lite and Web Console menu entries if there is an upgrade.
CQ64CommunitiesConfigsCleanupTask
< 6.3
