Okay. So you want to avoid 2 cutovers , or maybe even more..
Having a up-to-date version AD-TXK is better. If you have the latest patching tools (this is related with having latest AD-TXK in place), you will directly reduce the risk for future patching and get rid of the things that may negative patch performance impact.. In addition to that, most of the time new patches are tested with the latest AD-TXK so it is a good thing to have latest AD-TXK in place.
My advice is to have a isolated patching cycle for AD-TXK.. Get them in place and then in another patching cycle apply the rest of the patches.. This is what my recommendation is.. So, in my opinion; 2 cutovers is better in my opinion.
