If disks are in spin down mode, it means probably no snapshots are needed
I don't think that follows. If spin down is set to 5 minutes it is reasonably likely that that they are.
There is no perfect answer here, it depends on the use case I think. Providing an option makes some sense to me.

Also, maybe snapshots could be more smart
I agree more can be done. Missed snapshot handling probably is one. Having retention limits on smart snapshots would be useful. More control over timing, especially if the NAS is on a power-down schedule.
There is a balance here- if the logic is too complicated it likely will be buggy, and also hard to understand.
I suggest posting your enhancement thoughts on the idea exchange.
