I am more of a user of the net-snmp library so take what I say with skepticism.
The snmpusm should be updating the usmUserTableby sending messages to the snmpd to do the work. You can query this table to verify that the users are created in it. Once in this table, I would suspect that these users are available for use and no restart of the snmpd is needed. When the snmpd is stopped it will update the persistent snmpd.conf file with the users from the usmUserTable. The purpose of doing this is so on the next startup it can recreate the usmUserTable. I would find it very interesting if the snmpd needs to restart to start using V3 users created via snmpusm. What type of failure are you encountering? Have you set up the user's access control? Access control can be done in the non-persistent snmpd.conf files and usually a SIGHUP will do the trick to get snmpd to reread these files.
