This and usually people never know until one pad goes metal to metal. With 4 piston calipers you can get a pad that is worn at a heavy angle due to only one piston sticking.
It’s really rare that the caliper sticks enough to get an over heat condition that causes brake loss. If you did you would feel a pull to one side if it was a front caliper. If it’s in the rear you would probably not feel it.
