All distros there are essentially reproducible fuzzing CI systems that introduces determinism through disorderfs, lang changes and so on. These changes are fine to fix but nothing you'd normally get when reproducing packages for a distribution.

Personally the important part is if the patches are upstreamed or not. This isn't something that is a priority among distribution.
