So this is mostly how I see things too.  But it might still be worth
thinking about whether media, in particular, is special and should be
buildable as a standalone document.  I can see there may be settings
where only that is wanted.

Some sort of "only build xxx.rst and see what explodes" makefile option
also seems like a useful thing to have, just as a time saver for
developers and maintainers.
