That's why there's a crontab rule to load the crontab from a file. Cronception if you will.

Make the rule start a secondary cron system. Otherwise it won't run after you erase the crontab.

Here you go:

with-lock-ex -q /path/to/lockfile sh -c '
while true; do
    crontab cronfile;
    sleep 60;
done;'
