But opaque dice will allow for an even deadlier form of cheating where the mechanic switches in dice that have three pairs of faces rather than a set of six unique faces.

If you're sensitive to the handedness of the dice then you should have about a 50% chance of noticing this on any given roll. (If you're paying attention of course.) For example if 1, 2, and 3 are the three values, then half the time they will be arranged clockwise rather than counter-clockwise as they should be.
