Optimize is rarely useful. It can give some performance gains, but is quite an expensive operation. Pre Solr 7.5, optimizing had some behaviors that weren’t obvious, see: https://lucidworks.com/2017/10/13/segment-merging-deleted-documents-optimize-may-bad/
Post 7.5, the behavior has changed. If I were going to offer advice, you have two paths: 1> don’t optimize at all. This is my preference 2> optimize after every update, _assuming_ this means you update only daily at most.
