I have been using describe-function (C-h f) for this  It can tell us if a
given command has been natively compiled (or byte-compiled or neither of
these) for the present session.

Aside: I would first check `native-comp-available-p' to confirm the build
has the native compiler and that the Emacs instance is using it.
