The standard way to upgrade a system with a standby is to upgrade the
primary, keep the standby rolling forward until it encounters the
first log from the new Oracle version, then restart the standby on the
new ORACLE_HOME, change any init parameters (like COMPATIBLE), and
then just let it continue rolling forward.
The standby doesn't save you downtime for the upgrade, but it
definitely doesn't have to be rebuilt.
