I use plan occasionally, and haven't ever noticed the daemon stop working.
Are you talking about the system wide netplan daemon, or the single user
pland? In either case, you could very easily write script to run from
cron that does a ps -x, greps the output for the string pland (or
netplan), and starts the daemon if it is not running.
Regarding your second quesion dealing with reacting a certain way to a
reboot, possibly you could contact plan's author and mention that as a
feature request. It seems like a reasonable request to me.
