The two options you describe are the only ones which come to my mind right now as well. It is on purpose that there is no such API yet, since with load-balancing a compositing-only node as such does not exist. A node which is only compositing for one frame might contribute to rendering during another frame. _If_ you can do the lazy initialization cleanly, I would go for it since it is the most flexible solution. Otherwise hard-coding node names is an option, although you might need to change this in the future.
