We could limit it to the files changed in a commit, which ought to be very fast, and the verification would be higher-quality than a non-unified builder since it’ll catch unused includes. In theory, we could run it during local builds, too.

This sounds great. Any solution that helps to solve or miminize the
current issues related to unified builds has my support.
