If you directly draw samples from the underlying distribution, you don't have to worry at all about whether the markov chain or other process (e.g. HMC) is fully sampling the distribution.

MC has no rejections and always samples the entire distribution. You simply don't need to worry about trajectories not going everywhere they should.
