It needs to be noted this only applies on Windows. The Debian package has an in-place upgrade feature so the vm.args is not removed and it interrogates it for its current value (whether the file was modified since install or not). Not as sure about the rpm.

The default node name in configure.ps1 changed in apache#4678, from couchdb@localhost to [email protected]

The same change in default node name (and resulting behaviour) also occurred in "When upgrading from 2.x to 2.1.1", so the upgrade notes for 3.4.x have been updated with the same text.
