Not in all cases, but the overwhelming majority of them are clear.

And further: There are some badly invalid area features in the database
now because the multipolygon relation accepts anything. What would be done
for those in the conversion?

Continue to serve such a case in their broken relation+members form. Let the editors write it back in that form if the user hasn't fixed it, the editors itself were unable to fix it, or upon notifying the user he/she could fix it but then chooses not to do so.

'Conversion by attrition' -- See: created_by=*. Of course, the large majority that are clear could be done in one fell swoop, in some kind of A-Day (Area Day, which in actuality would probably turn out to be an A-Weekend+ ).
