Are these validations enough for our purposes?

Two files in the different version-control system can have same SHA and
same commit of commits, but have a possibility of changesets/diffs
associated with those commits different. I was thinking, how we should go
about with this when evaluating the existing git repo.

When we do migration afresh using a tool like hg-git, we assume that this
verification step is asserted as part of unit tests of the tool.
