After a significant number of updates, it's probably be a good

reboot just to ensure you are using the latest kernel and that any
services that were updated have been restarted. How and when that
reboot cycle happens is completely up to you. You can ignore it all
together if you wish.
The package yum-utils included the program needs-restarting, which would
tell you what running programs needed to be restarted because of an
update, although it didn't seem to go so far as to tell you that you
needed to reboot. Alas, there doesn't seem to be a dnf version yet,
along with several other handy yum utilities that we've lost.
