What data is more useful, the one that the Voltwach shows while moving the sticks or while holding them in full deflection for a moment?
Holding full deflection will not do anything, it when the motors in the servo runs that you get a load on the battery, i.e. move all channels while looking at the voltwatch.

That too is not necessarily true. Even an elevator can "bottom" out. But the most likely control to have problems with is the throttle. It's easy to set that up so that the servo trys to push the throttle beyond it's full open and full closed limits.
