Is changing the robot URDF during runtime something is normally done?

the straight answer would be: no, it's not done, as it's not supported.

See #q197320 for an earlier Q&A about this. Even thought it's from 2014, the situation has essentially not changed.

See ROS 2 robot_state_publisher improvements for a recent, related discussion.

There are many more, both here on ROS Answers and on ROS Discourse.
