Double-checking research seems really important and neglected. This can be valuable even if you don’t rerun the experiments and just try to replicate the analyses.
A couple of years ago, I was hired to review seven econometric papers, and even as an outsider to the field it was easy to contribute to find flaws and assess the strength of the papers.
Writing these reviews seems like a great activity, especially for junior researchers who want to learn good research practices while making a substantial contribution.
