Feel free to turn it off yourself, just don't be surprised when the attackers switch tactics. And don't make life harder for everyone else by pushing it as mandatory.

(if you want a better mitigation: don't automatically update dependencies in CI. At a minimum have a cooling-off period that you only bypass on manual review. This is not hard to implement and at least gives some time for alarm bells to be sounded before you're pwned. Probably while doing the updates you can also just do a quick sanity check on the changes, that'll also catch the ones using a blatant install hook)
