In general, order of overloads matters (think multiple inheritance, or an overload that shadows another one). I think I'd just check that the overloads match exactly, allowing for more items at the end of
right. Happily, this would also mean that the check would no longer be quadratic.Uh oh!

I do not understand why the order of overloads should matter (I'm not aware of other languages where the overloads have order), and I think enforcing them to overlap exactly would be restrictive.
To expand on my thoughts, I think it would restrict otherwise valid structural typing, for example this case (mypy-play example). I might be getting my terminology wrong, but I think this is an example of contravariance, which I think is something that should be permissible with overloads, as it is with other methods on a protocol (mypy-play example). This example is valid under the initial implementation and I do not think it would be if the check was re-implemented the way you have described (perhaps I am wrong here?).
