Only need to upgrade it if they do get it. The second part is that death is the only risk because wotc removed all of the others.  5e has a recovery model that you don't really even see in video games where you usually at least need to visit a special location. 5e is designed so there is no need for gold to fund magic item churn or even magic items at all making gold spent on healing via potions when someone acts recklessly an insignificant meaningless loss. 5e doesn't require healing up from zero other than poof your full rests so getting beat to hell by recklessly notching an encounter that could have been trivial with teamwork is also  no longer a penalty that would consume time spell slots or costly healing items previously.</blockquote>
