I think, in this situation the Hausman test would be the formal procedure that tests the divergence between the two estimators. Under the null of Y2 being exogenous, both the OLS and 2SLS estimator are consistent and tend to the same probability limit, else the OLS is inconsistent and the probability limits of the two estimators diverge. The Hausman test is a formal tests of this convergence under the null.
