Nice idea!
I presume I can settle with putting just 1 spare disk in there right? There's no need to fill up all 4 slots.
And after fiddling around, I can just put back the original 4, boot up and it's as if nothing happened ?
I was hoping someone else would have had some experience with updating bash, before I go into testing myself, but if not, I'll proceed and update the thread with my results later on.

Yes.
Well I think there's a strong possibility you may/will run into problems doing such an update. Personally at this point I think you'd be better off getting an OS6 NAS than trying to update things like bash on a Sparc unit.

True,
But they still work fine (and were pricy!), can handle 4 x 2TB disks each in XRaid, and don't feel outdated or useless yet.. It would be a shame to retire them.
It also leaves me with the concern that the OS6 NAS will end up in a similar fate soon enough, leaving me stuck.
