It can certainly be done. But it is a bit cumbersome.

I think you need:
- change SCSNODE in MODPARAMS.DAT and run AUTOGEN
- reconfigure DECnet
- reconfigure TCP/IP
- [if needed] change node name in queue definitions
- [if needed] change node name in licenses
- [if needed] change server name in web server configs
- [if needed] change server name in SSL/TLS certficates
