There should be no need for a reboot. Long live your system.

What kind of change? Technically it would only take running 'dahdi_cfg'
to apply that change. However that may not be enough. Depending on the
specific change.

It only got faster. No need to deconfigure anything in Asterisk (This
happens on its own. At least on Asterisk >= 13). No need to unload and
re-load any modules (And why would you? Just to run dahdi_cfg?).

But anyway, if merely running dahdi_cfg is not enough, try:

  dahdi_span_assignment remove
  dahdi_span_assignment add # or: auto

This should also configure DAHDI and register spans with Asterisk
(again: >= 13). If there are still problems with asterisk:

  asterisk -rx "dahdi restart"
