Alex (cc'd) brought this up to me about this a while ago too, and I agreed
with him. It is definitely something we should do, I remember there were
some things that were a bit tricky about removing the intermediate process
and would be a bit of work to fix (something about the tasks needing to
heartbeat the parent process maybe?).

TLDR: No blockers from me, just might be a bit of work to implement.
