It is always a struggle configuring a cronjob to run certain scripts; there is always a mis configuration, a PATH, an environment variable that is different from when you use it in interactive mode, etc.. Do you have any tricks to avoid or minimize those issues?

Always use absolute path. If you write some shell snippet which may be run in different environment, avoid use just command name for uncommon one.
