I think that CI would be a great addition. My only concern with the
patch is the changes to simple_eval_tools.sh and whether the
changes might break testing on other platforms and/or older
releases of various platforms.

But I supposed the best way to find out would be to commit the
changes. We might need some discussion on 5.7, but I think it's fine
for master (so it will make it in to 5.8). Why don't you go ahead
an check it in on a new branch. Given some support from other core
devs and not significant objections, I'll merge that branch before
rc1 next week.
