Not really. It's up to the person that is signing the inspection to make the determination.
Put yourself in the mechanics position, you sign off an annual inspection and decide to ignore to MM and recommended inspections. The airplane is in an accident and the first thing the attorneys want are the log books. They now find the mechanic ignored "factory recommended" inspections. See where this is going?
I think a lot of shops will be reluctant to sign off these planes without complying with the inspections.
