Maxwell can be configured to allow the render servers to render a complete sequence at (n) passes -
For example (6,12,24)

The whole sequence will finish to render each file at 6 passes (at a low Sampling Level) and move to the next frame. When the whole sequence is complete it will then RESUME the render from 6 to 12 (does not need to re-render the already 6 passes) and save each, finally it will render the passes from 12 -24

In this way you can already use the sequence in compositing at a lower quality while the higher quality is in progress

this type of autosave is not planned, you can simply save at regular time intervals, and you should get almost regular pass counts. Adding this feature would unnecessarily complicate the UI
