In commercial companies it is quite common to maintain a database with vetted parts.
Each and every combination of schematic symbol is vetted carefully for any mistake, and only gets into the database after a thorough verification. In the bigger companies, this is often done by other people then the PCB designers. Their sole task is to maintain the libraries, order parts, and things like that.
For a hobby level, The minimum you should verify is if the parts are actually available in the package you want (There are big and moving shortages of IC’s in the last few years), and preferably have all the parts in house before your order the PCB’s.
Some time ago I made a little writeup of how I test footprints by just printing the PCB on paper, and physically checking if everything fits. It’s not a perfect method, but it’s easy to do, and it does catch a bunch of common errors.
