I'd probably want to do that after any package updates, because there's a
risk that the firmware files on the SD and USB become out of sync and that
could cause a boot failure.

If you ran it on a cron job say once a day using rsync, it would reduce the
chances of that happening.  Or there may be a hook you can set to run it
after apt upgrade.
