The rulebook says upgrading the Warehouse does not require an immediate reduction of the hand.

Yes. Upgrading the Warehouse does not force an immediate discard; the rulebook says only that you need not reduce the hand at once. Posters differ on what applies afterwards: one says you cannot add cards until you are back down to two, another that the three-card limit returns once you buy a card from hand.
