At a minimum, an engine-run stand will confirm whether there are any coolant and/or oil leaks or any other rebuild issues. Better to address them now rather than later. Once upon a time, a tech used up many hours diagnosing a no-start after reinstalling a rebuilt engine. Eventually discovered a crank sensor gap wasn't in spec.
Break-in doesn't have to be performed while on the test stand. Running it is just another step to confirm all is well until then. I vote yes if that's an option.
