Robin's tool does provide the necessary information about the messages that exist only on the local Wiki. For somebody who knows Assamese, the first step is a matter of copying the existing messages to translatewiki and verifying if they are correct. This improves support for the Assamese language on every Wiki.

Running Robin's tool is a task that should be run on any MediaWiki wiki. When this task has been performed on many wikis, there will be enough data to indicate the messages that typically have a local override. This could be the next step in optimising your local MediaWiki setup.

The array in the screenshot shows the same messages as in the table just above it ("Custom"). For many wikis, this indeed contains messages not translated on translatewiki, but in the case of Assamese, a lot of messages are just differently translated on the wikipedia and in the mediawiki localisation. (Of course in such cases it would be best to choose the best one, and then delete the message locally if there are no real customisations.)
//It is best practice to remove them because it prevents problems down the line.//
Could you please elaborate on this?
Also, could you please remove CAPTCHA? It is such a pain. Won't mind if you moderate the comments.
Thanks.
