My personal choice is to use an external circuit to give fully variable
filter tracking (not just off, 1/3, 2/3, full).
The mod I linked to is non-destructive, so you can reverse it, and it does
keep things simpler.
I chose not to mod my minimoog at all internally, since it is a very early,
all discrete unit.

Back in the time, I think they played them by hand ;-)

Osc sync is nice, but IMO you really need envelope modulation of the synced
oscillator to get the best out of it.

My convertor has a knob to control glide time, with the added advantage that
glide is generated digitally, so the time can be over-ridden by a MIDI CC.
I can assign an aux to set glide time per step in a P3 pattern.

Glide on the mini is part of the keyboard circuit, which makes it less than
ideal to hack into.
I'd really recommend using an external glide circuit. Aside from anything
else, it's very useful to have a choice of constant rate or constant time
glide.
You can still tweak it live if you keep the knob handy, like this...
