So everything that is supposed to be there is actually present, and the patch is indeed unneeded.

Looks good. If you have the full strace logs for both cases then it
might still be useful to check which (if any) command lines are
changed by removing the patch, but if not then removing the whole
patch does seem OK.

There is no tooling to compare strace files, they have process ids, and probably other unrelated files that needs to be stripped out or matched.

I guess looking at the two logs in a graphical tool such as meld would
highlight if command line options completely disappear, even with the
noise of differences in process IDs etc.

Just to reiterate: this is for the master branch, and I do insist on "if AB is green then it works as intended" - if issues are found later, then the right way to deal with them is to improve the AB tests, not ask maintainers do even more manual work.

Yes, and I'm agreeing with you!

Can you help me review the remaining 400 "upstream-status: pending" patches?

No. I made the decision some time ago to stop contributing to OE. Not
planning on restarting now.
