If by "we" you mean taskotron, then the answer to your question is yes.

Now that the taskotron task is invoking abipkgdiff with the --dso-only
option, if the package contains shared libraries and and other types of
binaries, then only the shared libraries are going to be ABI-compared.

I understand. I agree that being able to skip packages early based on
their content would likely be more efficent.
I hope this helps.
