Solution
Will it require a downtime?
Of course, Yes, it will require!
In SharePoint 2013/2010/2007, Running the SharePoint Configuration Wizard will require downtime even you have high availability environment.
Note: The zero downtime patching has been introduced In SharePoint 2016, but you must have high availability environment to perform it.
