Well that was a bit worrying. I was curious about First Aid in Disk Utility and how it would work with the two volumes in one structure which has caused a bit of conversation on these forums so I decided to give it a try.
The resulting message is as you see below and it is the same no matter which volume you choose Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data.

The first thing you notice other than the slightly worrying wording in the dialogue box, 'this may last several minutes or hours' is that the desktop goes black, or a very dark grey, you are immediately aware that this is different from First Aid in any other macOS I have used.
Fortunately the process completed successfully as hoped in a minute or thereabouts with no problems found.
