No, you cannot detect when arbitrary options change.

You could monitor for an option change in a CursorHold event, maybe even combined with CursorMoved, etc.

But readonly will only change automatically when reading the file. So is BufReadPost sufficient for your needs? Why do you need to detect when the value changed?

For all these methods, you can read the current value with something like:

:let current_readonly = &readonly
