Keep the source until the AAC result passes a full playback check.

AAC serves streaming, mobile playback, and compact delivery, whereas M4A commonly serves Apple devices, podcasts, and compact music files.
For M4A-to-AAC delivery, plan for quality loss when repeatedly re-encoded.
After leaving M4A, the receiving app must support the streams encoded inside AAC, not only its extension.

When does M4A to AAC conversion make sense?

It is useful when M4A media created for everyday audio delivery must enter a AAC system designed for efficient distribution.
