If restart as usual, when you deploy for example, then you are right. I use reload task in the most of cases. But sometimes need to use hard reset, in case of server glitches.

The letter flag itself is optional: both kill USR2 and kill -s USR2 do the same thing.

Minor tip, might help speed up a bit. Instead of using ruby backticks for the PID, do it the UNIX way.

run "kill -s USR2 $(< #{unicorn_pid})"
