Comment (by chrismaker):

 You're correct! WordPress already has functionality to handle situations
 where a post slug (post_name) conflicts with an existing one. When you
 attempt to save a post with a slug that already exists, WordPress
 automatically appends a suffix (e.g., -2, -3, etc.) to make it unique.
 This behavior helps prevent conflicts and ensures that each post has a
 unique slug within its post type.

 So, even if you change the slug of a post after publishing, WordPress will
 automatically handle any conflicts with existing slugs by appending the
 appropriate suffix. Therefore, the concern about the old slug being saved
 unnecessarily may not be as significant because WordPress already manages
 duplicate slugs in a way that ensures uniqueness.
