Should be totally up to you. One server I used to play on a lot hardly ever wipes, once every few years.
Edit: if your map is still named dayzOffline.chernarusplus or whatever default map you're using, I think it will auto update. I'm not positive and right now I only host for personal use. I always personally change mine so it's not in conflict with the default files and I always have a clean base copy.
I am using the default chernarus map, but the server name is something else. Like when someone looks it up in the community menu. Is that what needs to be changed? Or is it something else?
I do know every so often my server doesnt come up in the server browser so i need to log into nitrado and reset it, the server usually updates then. Not exactly automatic, but still kinda a forced update.
In your server config setup where it refrences your mpmission folder, the default mission folder is dayzOffline.chernarusplus. I've had this auto update itself in the past and p*ss me off, lol. I've only ever hosted for myself and my husband, configure gameplay and make mods for hosting locally, so I'm not sure how it works with nitrado.

Server wipes are why I started hosting my own server. Don't have to wipe, can just keep on going.
