I thought Newps said that a VFR flight plan has a means for automatic
notification of someone if it isn't closed within the tolerance.

Yes, there is. Once you open your VFR flight plan the guy at FSS will
get a message on a screen that says N123 is xx minutes overdue. Each
region sets its own parameters as to when that notification comes, never
more than 30 minutes after the filed time.
