Do we do so for any of the other external credential helpers?
It definitely makes sense in principle. Though the concern perhaps will be that any new features added to the credential helpers and thus its test suite would need adding to each credential helper simultaneously to avoid failing CI. Ideally we would do exactly that, though that requires knowledge on each of the keystore APIs used in each of the credential helpers.
