Review Comment:
   > So, if the gc does not run, the the test will eventually time-out and fail
   
   Resulting in a flaky test. That's my concern.
   
   > Maybe we don't run these on a regular basis?
   
   Running with the full ITs is fine. They shouldn't be running with sunny, 
though.
   
   > We can reevaluate the tests after this is committed, but these changes do 
move the ball forward.
   
   Absolutely agree :+1:  If the test is flaky, we'll deal with it then.
