We created a CI job to check that the package would be somewhat useable on distros using musl. scipy (and probably other downstream projects) are waiting until numpy releases a musllinux_* wheel to make accompanying wheels. A side effect is that testing on other platforms helps uncover portability bugs, etc. One might argue that musllinux wheels would probably be more popular than platforms like s390x. musllinux is also straightforward to test on CI. In https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/20089 there's a reasonable level of support for making musl wheels.

I suggested cirrus-ci because it's relatively straightforward to run tests inside docker containers (plus I know how to do it). From https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/running-jobs-in-a-container it should be possible to do something similar on github actions.
