Are users supposed to be running any arbitrary rsync command they like
when they connect, or is there a canonical one for doing the backup?

If the latter, can you use ssh's "forced command" mode, with a
different command associated with each user?

Hmm.  I just did a search and found this, from two months ago:

Relevant?
