You don't need to upgrade RabbitMQ if you don't want to. There's some 
performance and reliability fixes (for at-scale deployments) in later 
rabbitmq and erlang packages but for the size of your deployment I'm not 
sure it would be particularly useful to upgrade rabbitmq.

The process for upgrading from Liberty to Mitaka is the same as the 
process for upgrading from Mitaka to Newton.

The best guide to follow is the Nova upgrade documentation, which you 
link to below:

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/upgrade.html#

Follow that and you should be 90% of the way there. Upgrading the 
controller services like Keystone, Glance, Cinder (on the controller, 
not the cinder-volume services on the compute nodes), Heat, etc should 
be simple: shut down the services, upgrade the packages, run db syncs, 
restart the services. Upgrading the compute nodes is the trickier part, 
but the doc above gives a great rundown of what you should do.

Of course, make a backup of your database(s) before you do anything.

All the best,
