I did a similar exercise for Italian in bug 1434854, I'd be interested in seeing the results for another language. Trying with French, per conversation on IRC with Théo. There are 203 language names in Mozilla, 27 (13.3%) have a different translation compared to CLDR. There are 272 region names in Mozilla, 46 (16,91%) have a different translation compared to CLDR. Some differences might be due to the en-US names we have in Mozilla.

One final note: I convert language names to lowercase to compare them, that's why the name shows up lowercase in the list, but it's uppercase in l10n-central (e.g. chichewa vs Chichewa) or = Odia is correct, Oriya was the old name.
Here’s the only potential mistake in CLDR data that I could find: kj CLDR: kouanyama Mozilla: kuanyama kouanyama is the old name, according to Wikipedia https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuanyama Everything else… was on us All changes landed in https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/fr/rev/337f8c23b323
