Thanks to everyone for their replies.

I don't rename the new planet file, instead I update a symbolic link to
point to the latest file and delete any planet files older than x days.

Is there any possibility of changing Osmosis so arbitrary post merge
commands could be executed before finalizing the state file? E.g.:

PostCommand='ln -s planet-new.osm.pbf planet-current.osm.pbf'
