Well, that's the nature of production changes.  The best you can do is what
you have available with your tools and the standards.

At some point, you've exhausted the corrections you can make based on
p=none, and you need to make the next step, which is p=quarantine pct=0.

You should stay at that point for as long as it's useful.  You can see what
monitoring you can do while at that stage, see if there's any way to
measure your production mail traffic to see if there's major changes in
traffic.

There are obviously limitations built into this, given that this mostly
effects what other systems do with your traffic and the time frame before
you get feedback, but that's the break.

Theoretically, you could try it on some staging/limited/testing domain
first, but you probably won't have the volume necessary.  You can come up
with a list of services you care about and test them directly on a test
domain.  You could theoretically set up some end-to-end test (send email
from foo to bar and monitor whether it gets there, and do so with a new
email every 5 minutes)

If you consider any single email going awry a problem, then DMARC is
probably not what you want to do anyways, since there will never be 100%
non-false positives with DMARC.  That said, whether your mail is accepted
by any system ever is somewhat out of your hands, and improving your
chances of other servers accepting your legitimate email might depend on
setting up DMARC to clean out the garbage...
