Yes, the client update is needed.

You *could* do an incremental update, i.e. push an update to your
clients that does not include the hobbitlaunch program. Since
hobbitlaunch is the only program running while the update happens, you
can replace all of the client-side programs, except hobbitlaunch. So
replacing the hobbitclient-aix.sh file (which is the one that needs
updating for the specific problem you mention) should not be a problem.
