I am not sure about losing them when upgrading.

But you could also do it the other way around: move all the templates 
you need to your user directory and then change the default template 
path (in Preferences > Paths).

In the next mayor version (2.4), LyX will show both user and system 
templates in one dialog, so you can just put your own ones in the user 
directory and leave the system ones where they are.
