Yes, it seems that the [part] and the match filter feature are concurring features, whereby match filter is the more general one.

There is a difference between these. MinimServer currently processes albums on a folder by folder basis, except for multi-disc albums or albums marked [part]. This processing uses an optimized path. Multi-disc albums and albums marked with [part] are deferred for processing until the whole library has been scanned, and these albums use a more general and less efficient implementation.

Removing [part] would bring the less efficient path into play for all albums. For a small library, this wouldn't matter. For a large library, I'm not sure what the impact would be. I would need to measure the impact and possibly do further optimization work to compensate.
