Arild:
I'm interested in running a script in dom0 at 30 min intervals, but it
seems that cron and systemd timers might be limited in dom0. Is that true?
I'm not sure I understand. Limited how?
You should be able to make a .service file and set up your .timer file like:
[Timer]
OnCalendar=*-*-* *:00:00,30
As far as I know, it's the same in Qubes as in any other systemd Linux.
If you want to schedule commands in VMs, you can create a timer in dom0
that runs the `qvm-run` command which will start the specified VM and
run a command inside of it.

In the documentation I have seen a cron.daily and cron.weekly, but I would
like a little more options than that.
Any suggestions what might work?
Thanks,
Arild
Those are pre-set intervals that are set up for you out of the box, but
you can create custom schedules with a crontab file.

Or, you can use systemd timer files.
