No, you need periodic fulls.  If you are using rsync only the changes
are transferred anyway but it uses the previous full run as the
comparison so the size of the differences will grow until you do
another full.

Yes, that is reasonable and easy to do with the default weekly full
settings.   Just start a full backup manually as you are leaving work
on Friday. and the next full won't start until the blackout period
ends a week later - and the approximate-weekly timing should keep that
schedule as long as your system is up every day.
