When e2fsck does a full check, it verifies the contents of all of the
metadata blocks, and this includes verifying all of the checksums.

That's not currently on the development roadmap; I could imagine
someone deciding to design an extension to ext4 that would do this
probably by storing the checksums in the indirect blocks, but no one
is currently working on it.
