I do worry about server/storage usage, but in
my more innocent years I have made a change
to a comment (which included a new type of typo
error) and that resulted in build breakage.  I
learned that even a small (of what I thought was
an) innocuous change might itself cause issues,
and learned that just adding building to every
change was the safest way forward.  Those that
never make typos when fixing the typos they
first typed probably do not have the same
experience or concerns.  If you are worried
about storage usage on mirrors, a scratch build
at least strongly suggests that the package will
likely build in the next (mass) rebuild.

CI can mean different things to different
organizations, but building on every commit
can certainly be useful to catch some issues
early.  I think I have previously suggested that
every push should (by default) trigger a
scratch-build (with overrides for full build or no
build for packages/packagers with special
needs), so that the project is less likely to have
surprises much later in the process.
Identifying the push but no build case in a
different way can also work.
