Updating Solr - was Disk space usage with mdbox

So with "fts_autoindex=yes" enabled in plugins, is there anything I 
should be running regularly, other than the expunge/purge, to ensure 
Solr indexes are updated?  I have a daily Solr optimize, and Solr 
autocommit enabled.

I have an hourly "doveadm index -A *" command - is that unneeded?

So I don't think that needs to be run nightly (if ever automatically).
