Generally, no. On some cases where I'm extending the code or compiling it for some special case that I have, I will read the code. For example, I modified a web project to use LDAP instead of a local user file. In that case, I had to read the code to understand it. In cases where I'm recompiling the code, my pipeline will run some basic vulnerability scans automatically.
I would not consider either of these a comprehensive audit, but it's something.
Additionally, on any of my server deployments, I have firewall rules which would catch "calls to home". I've seen a few apps calling home, getting blocked but no adverse effects. The only one I can remember is Traefik, which I flipped a config value to not do that.
