Change the oil on a regular basis.
The probability of getting new chunks breaking off on an ongoing basis is remote. It is much more likly it is a one time clean.

i feel like that's a terrible concept though. as we all saw with the valve spring recall, human application, especially non-specifically-trained-human-application of rtv is much more likely to fail and be a problem.
so in a lot of ways, once one opens the pan and re-applies rtv, there's just as much of a possibility that their own work will fail, leading to repeated concerns that are justifiable enough to open the pan again, and again, and again.
for those that are concerned, it's literally 'best' to drop the oil pan EVERY oil change...
