Personally, I need more information to come to a conclusion. A new wireless site survey costs money. Additionally, there needs to be a budget for any new cabling they may be required to place APs into any new positions. I can't see any case where upgrading from MR32s to MR57s will result in worse coverage. If the number of APs is small, and if there is not a willingness to pay for any additional cabling that is likely to be required to relocate APs, then it doesn't make financial sense to get that site survey done. >doesn't overlap with existing MR32 channels, etc You said the MR32s were being replaced ... personally, I think it is a waste of time to use a wireless site survey for channel planning - indeed I think it often makes the operating environment worse. A channel plan is done at a specific point in time. Dynamic allocation can respond to changes in the environment. And now you have the new AI channel planning https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Radio_Settings/AI_Powered_Auto_RF . Overall, I have very little concern over this change apart from the financial cost.
