A weekly (or some other frequency) dump of stubs would

A weekly dump would probably be sufficient for bringing in fresh new
stubs, but it might be irritating to have to wait a week for
already-expanded stubs to disappear from the list.
I'm figuring that many of the existing stubs are on the list for a
reason (i.e. nobody wants to expand them) and that a good portion of
the stub expansion is happening to just the newest stubs.
So with a weekly-updated list, the dedicated group of stub expanders
may find that most of the new interesting-sounding links end up taking
them to articles that are no longer stubs. That would irritate me, I
know.
