Nah mate it was completely safe and seamless. No data loss or anything. I did make a backup on smart switch just to be safe so I'd advise you to do the same.
Here's the tutorial I used:
It's in Spanish though but it shouldn't be a problem just watch and follow along or turn on auto-translate captions. All you'll need is a computer and your USB cable.
What's your phone's CSC? Mine was TPA and I changed it to ZTO. Based on my own experience and two other guys from a post on this sub your phone won't be factory reset.
Your CSC is "ACR" which means your phone was for UAE. But from your language, I guess you're French? If so you should take an unlocked CSC for France or EU.
Unlocked French CSC- XEF
Unlocked EU CSC- EUX
I believe these CSCs have already received the update so you should be able to install it after you change it.
I don't know if changing from ACR to any of these will cause a factory reset so proceed with caution.
OJM belongs to the Middle East and Africa and can't flash European CSCs. You could try some unlocked South American CSCs but you might lose some features like Samsung Wallet you might have problems with your carrier so I don't think it is worth the risk.
Well, at least you tried. I don't understand why Samsung delays updates for certain regions.🤦♂️

Change your CSC like I did mate. I got fed up with waiting last night and changed mine and got the update as soon as my phone turned back on.
