I think ideal would be ability to get refund if you find missing/broken features. If someone can confirm this is possible to do then it would be much safer to shop around and then do your own testing with each game. There is a too much technical details that realistically GOG won't be able to list them in the product page.
The primary focus for these distributions is "classic old games on current systems" so, in theory, there could be some issues when you are using more period-correct systems. I think GOG usually only offers 1 build for a game and it is probably not the original one.
Then there are also licensing issues, for example songs are sometimes removed.
Before this goes too off-topic I would just like to sum up my thoughts ----> If you want to make sure you are playing "the original" then you might really need the original build instead of these modern ones.
