Do you think it would be a good idea to store a checksum of the actual font file used while generating the cache?

This sounds useful. As it will need backend support in luatex, I will add a tracker item for this.

Isn't mtxrun --script fonts reload enough ?

Only if you actually see the problem happening, which may not be the case. The output could be messed up without any kind of warning from the engine. I mean: one should not simply copy an opentype font into (context) system and expected things to work. Checksum should be check at every runs, which is useless most of the time: in a production env. I don't change fonts for long time , and every change is tested. Maybe a lua script to install fonts is better -- we can eventually
