If we have sufficient test coverage, why would this be necessary? The
data that is sent by Windows shouldn't differ from the code that is
being tested by our NDR testsuite. I do agree that testing against
Windows in general is useful, but I think it'd be very hard for me to
test all these functions...

torture/ndr/ basically does what ndrdump --dump --validate does,
but in an automated fashion. Why would running ndrdump be necessary if
we have proper test coverage?

The callers won't have to be changed.
