Thank you for the example. This seems like a great "casting net" for all sorts of general bugs and problems.

Still, I'd add some manually-written tests on top of these. I wouldn't rely on randomised tests more than I would rely on my domain knowledge. For example, a set of randomised tests wouldn't be able to "tell" you about problems you might experience around 180th meridian or around poles. They don't know the reason behind these problems. A human, on the other hand, is able to (re)read the requirements, think critically and figure out all sorts of problems using a creative systematic approach.
