You can preemptively generate as many relay keys as you want and use their fingerprints in MyFamily so you don't have to bother about changing old configs when you add new relays as long as you use these preemptively generated keys.

And if you're already there then you can then deal with offline keys too ;-)

I believe that is a different matter. If you run >2 relays without configuration management and don't want to update torrc file, you probably don't want to run in OfflineMasterKey mode either.

So this is another reason to seriously consider configuration management if you run

1Gbit/s of tor bandwidth. If you want to consider a state of the art relay setup.
