It would seem any degree is sufficient.

It's not a halachic question at all.  If they're asking whether there's 
any reason al pi torah whether they *should* feel upset then the rov can 
tell them there isn't, but that it's a legitimate feeling to have.

But there's no question that upsetting ones parents is a avera, while 
saying kaddish is not any sort of chiyuv on any individual.  So each 
person whose parents will be hurt if he says it has an easy cheshbon to 
make: don't say it.  If that means nobody says it, so be it.
