planetary gear set disassembly-needed?

During a "typical" (if there could ever really be one) AT rebuild (specifically, the 722.3 trans), how often is the planetary gear set disassembled to set end play on a one-way clutch and replace a couple o-rings? While I understand why it's worth it to set clutch, band and shaft play clearances properly, I wonder if disassembling the planetary just to check the end play of one sprag clutch is worth it. Anyone here have experience with this assembly? Thanks!
