No I do not have to adjust them all the time. The difference between the Avid 3 and 7 is like night and day.
The Avid 3's are cheap and I had to adjust them all the time and would not stay adjusted. Once I changed to the higher quality brakes I have not had to constantly tend to them.
IMO any set of higher quality brakes will work better than the cheap OEM brakes on the Trek 7.3.
