I'm trying to find a way to automate this process and I can wrap my head around the complexity of the problem, especially with multiple servers.

I maintain my MyFamily completely automated using puppet. So once I add 
new relays to my infrastructure, all the torrc files automatically get 
updated and the relays reload (or restart?).

If you really do run >5 relays, I'd highly suggest to use whatever 
automation (puppet, ansible, salt, chef,...) that suits you. But don't 
even try to manually maintain that amount of relays by hand.

As a bonus you can have a unified setup of unattended upgrades and such 
things too.

Best regards, Matthias
