I understood a rail or tube journey would be needed for every top-up,
apparently incorrectly, and that his rail/tube usage wasn't enough for that.


You were indeed incorrect. Once set up, auto-topup works just fine on
buses and always has since it started.

https://tfl.gov.uk/fares-and-payments/oyster/oyster-online-account#on-this-page-4

"Your card is automatically topped up when you touch your Oyster card on
a yellow card reader at the start of a journey on bus, Tube, tram, DLR,
London Overground, TfL Rail, Emirates Air Line, River Bus or National
Rail services in London."


I think it might not have always auto-topped up on the Thames Clipper
river buses, but it does now.
