3-2-1 Backup Rule:
Three copies of your data. Two "local" but on different mediums (disk/tape, disk/object storage), and at least one copy offsite.
Then yes, absolutely perform a recovery and see how long it takes. RTOs need to be really low. Recovering from object storage is going to take at least a magnitude more time than on-prem.
Also, storage snapshots/replications are not backups, stop using them as such. Replicating is good for instant failover, but if your environment is hacked they are probably going to be destroyed as well.
