No, `gluster volume add-brick voname replica 3 
node3.san:/tank/gluster/brick1' should automatically trigger healing in 
gluster 3.12 (actually earlier than 3.12 but I don't remember which 
release the automatic healing was added on add-brick command). Ensure 
that `gluster volume heal volname info` eventually becomes zero.

Looks okay in theory (I haven't tried out a 3.7 to 3.12 upgrade). It 
might be good to check there are no pending heals before you stop the 
old nodes for the upgrade.
