I have disabled some apps I don't use like:
Google Books
Google Movies
HP Print
Cloud Print
Text to Speech
Motorola Migrate
Google Play Games

I'm thinking to also disable Motorola Assist and Alert.

Will I have any problems? Will upgrading to Lollipop give me any issues?

Yep I have Assist and Alert disabled and everything works fine, I also have Help disabled too, I doubt there would be any issues with the Lollipop upgrade but, me personally, I'm going to enable all my disabled apps, update them and then upgrade to Lollipop (but after the update to Lollipop I'm going to factory reset the phone anyway to start from afresh)

After disabling assist,battery saver mode stops working, I mean I am unable to toggle battery saver ON after disabling assist.

Sent from my XT1068
Interesting, I have just checked mine and I cannot turn on Battery Saver with Assist disabled either, I've never used Battery Saver before so never noticed, you'll have to keep Assist enabled then if you use Battery Saver.
