You could pick some tractable number of the ones that you think will
be the most enlightening and run some quick informal tests on those.

We can then take guidance from that as to whether more detailed tests
are warranted for those things, or whether we can agree the result is
clear from even a first approximation.  (and perhaps focus energy on
some different set of potentially more valuable tests instead of
chasing clear dead ends in great detail prematurely)

We are in soft-freeze of the bitstream.  So finding such cases,
if they do exist, would be much better sooner than later.

Doing as much as we can in parallel is clearly the best option.
