A cron job is not sufficient, as we need to back up the state after every change. Otherwise the backup would potentially contain outdated channel states.

This is only partially true. Turns out the SCB is only good for triggering remote force closing in case of total data loss. Meaning it's only updated after channel openings and closings, and not after every transaction.
