You don’t - you bounce the servers because it’s simpler. If your secret is static for the lifetime of a deployment - just redeploy to get a new value.

I like secret stores but only when the value of something regularly changes in a way that redeploying becomes unacceptable.

Bouncing things is often unacceptably expensive - caches, consensus and the cost of data redistribution etc are all good reasons to have hot configuration for secrets.
