For what it's worth, one scenario where it's easier to go wrong than before is when distro patches have to be added to the protocol headers (for example enum values which are used in messages sent over the wire). This happens when distros decide to backport useful features. Before, all that was needed was patching one place (spice-protocol), now the header needs to be patches N times, and it's not even a straight cherry-pick from git, so I can imagine things going wrong there.
