inotify is suppose to be designed to be cheap even for large numbers of files, but I can see using it here being more bother than perhaps it is worth.
Next time I have a file that isn't autoimporting, I'll see if I can start calibre in debug mode, but I suspect restarting it might cause the files to be imported anyway, so it might take a couple of tries to figure out exactly how to trigger it.
