Restoring the dump somewhere else gives you even more confidence in the integrity
of your data.
But if you really want to know if everything is ok, you should have used the "-k"
option for initdb to enable block checksums. Then a pg_dump would definitely tell
you if something is wrong.
Unfortunately checksums can only be enabled at initdb time, not later.
