Using make worries me because I frequently downgrade versions of
things while I'm testing.  Downgrading will give the .db files an
older timestamp, and the system database will not be rebuilt.

There are occasions when beehive will downgrade what's in its
buildroot.  Fixing broken a database on my machine is easy, fixing
it on 20+ beehive machines is not.

That aside, rebuilding the databases takes no time at all.  Using
make seems to me to be adding an additional layer of complexity for
no perceptible gain.
