mtxrun --script fonts reload

this is only needed when you access fonts by name and if a name cannot be found, the name cache will be regenerated automatically And it's ok, because the next runs mkiv will *not* rebuild the cache, and in mkiv we use fonts mostly by name. If I understand correctly, checksum or something similar  (why not a binary cmp then ? just one byte is enough)  must be done at *every* runs -- make no  sense ,most the times check will be useless . Also a changing of a font in a middle of a run can be dangerous: the next run can be faked.
