AFAIK, current bitcoin code code already set blockchain checkpoints from
time to time. It is a garanteed that a longer chain starting before the
checkpoint is not going to be accepted suddently. See
<https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3D194078.0>.

Could be perfectly valid to store only unspend wallets before last
checkpoint, if during the blockchain download the node did all the checks=
=2E

Would be interesting, of course, to be able to verify "unspend wallet
accounting" having only that checkpoint data (the merkle tree can do
that, I guess). So you could detect a data corruption or manipulation in
your local harddisk.
