Not that I know of, only Kovid would be able to answer definitively.

My 'assumption' has been that the GUI Library manager->Library maintenance->Restore database function
  • creates a fresh database as a clone with the same database schema,
  • restores the column data from the book folder metadata.opf files
  • restores the library specific preferences from the metadata_db_prefs_backup.json file
But I'm wondering if the command line version of restore_database does something less that that - hence the WARNING in the manual.
