Checking the delta temperatures will reveal if the system is functioning optimally and will initiate a conversation about replacement before a complete failure.

Inspecting and cleaning the evaporator coils will improve efficiency, reduce electrical usage/cost, and detect premature corrosion.

None of these will ensure that the system never breaks but they all lower the risk of it breaking suddenly in the middle of a heatwave.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
