Better run it, it takes only 10-15 minutes. And multilib packages should
not break so often. In Extras they have lead to a few false positives when
somebody released ABI incompatible updates, but no packager has ever
complained about that, since usually it is obvious when a broken deps
report refers to multilib breakage (e.g. i386.rpm in repo-x86_64).

With koji it might even be possible to use some of the package Req/Prov
details in the koji database. But until this is implemented and tested,
we should reuse existing tools wherever it makes sense.
