I feel silly asking, but, does minimserver do automatic rescans?

I think it can be done via the named pipe interface and a cron job, in linux but internal would be universal.

You could do this with a cron job as you suggest but the rescan would lock out the library from browsing and music selection in the great majority of cases where the rescan is unnecessary.

I am thinking about making improvements in this area so that rescans can be done automatically after the contents of the library have changed and without disruptiing user activity. There are some difficult technical challenges with this and I can't give any time estimate for when it might be available.
