But when adding a zone, you need a restart, not just rebuild & reload
What happens then?

Good, so on startup will it send notifies to all secondaries per default?
eg this could then be removed from the init scripts?

the 50 at a time is fine when it is the daemon doing it, meaning the server
is up and running. The issue with nsd3 is that you have to run nsd-notify
before the daemon launches, meaning you are down while waiting.
