Yes, I think they should because fingerprints can be used even if Identity is not.

It will pretty much always changes ( or at least at the same odds of two different things hashing to the same value ) 

If the far end was doing transfers that looked like just changing the SDP in the same offer/answer session to move the media to a new endpoint, the fingerprint and identity values would change but it would also be redoing ICE and setting up a new DTLS session.
