No, it's not interesting. Rijndael has be designed such that a simple SAT
won't help in any way. Once he tries to solve some less trivial cases (way
more unknown keybits), he'll for sure step upon a growth factor of ~2 per
keybit.

Do you know Schöning's SAT algorithm ?
It solves SAT instances in (3/4)^n, where n is the number of variables.
It is the world record algorithm.
The clue is that it is a probabilistic algorithm.
An so is siege_v4 (my favorite algorithm).
This means that the growth factor is below 2.
