I don't make videos, but I'd recon that someone who makes long videos, doesn't have time to look at the result of all of the cuts.

Maybe a separate time line with just the cuts that you can fast forward through and see/hear if there's anything you still want.

That's an interesting idea! Right now it lets you preview either the original file, or with the silence cut out (and you can quickly toggle between those). I guess this could be a third state, to only play back the cuts.

For my own workflow I usually play back the recording with the silence cut out, and tweak as I go. (The new version I'm working on has the ability to manually cut/keep parts of the timeline). It's way faster than what I used to do, which was play it back while making the cuts as I went. I'm not sure I'd personally want to listen back to only the cuts because it'd be easy to lose my place, but I could see how someone could want to do that.
