Yes, no, maybe. There's no single answer to any of that. You have to
change what you have to change based on what's being exposed as different.

If you change a client's /etc/hosts file you can make any server look like
any server name you want, so you don't necessarily have to change
anything. It all depends.

If you want better answers, ask better questions. Be specific. What are
your assumptions, what are your peering models with IdPs, who's consuming
what metadata and where is the metadata managed? Etc.
