You don't necessarily have to get rid of the cron job to keep journal files.
"ixfr-from-differences" is intentionally designed to allow you to arbitrarily replace the zone file and yet continue to keep your .jnl files. However, I too have run into rollforward errors with my use of "ixfr-from-differences" and overwriting the zone file. It has to do with how updates are processed and changes written to the journal. I have a bug open with ISC and they're working on it. It's a very serious issue for us because it takes zones completely offline, which is not acceptable in a production setting. TL;DR: Be careful with ixfr-from-differences and make sure you're not getting "rollforward" errors.
