This was meant as a smoke test...

A smoke test that only works on your machine :-)

What‘s a good alternative?

How about:

$ wp cli version
WP-CLI 2.8.1
$wp eval 'echo \WP_CLI\Utils\http_request( "GET", "https://api.wordpress.org/core/version-check/1.6/" )->body;' --skip-wordpress
<PHP serialized string with version numbers>

That would at the very least test whether the update worked and whether regular execution and the integration with Requests works.
Note: The above example that Daniel provided mostly just tested the SSH subsystem. The entire option retrieval logic is executed on whatever version is installed on his server.
