Timothy pointed out to me recently that the GLSL ES spec has this
mention:

"Precision qualifiers for outputs in one shader matched to inputs in
another shader need not match when both shaders are linked into the same
program. When both shaders are in separate programs, mismatched 
precision qualifiers will result in a program interface mismatch that
will result in program pipeline validation failures, as described in
section 7.4.1 (“Shader Interface Matching”) of the OpenGL ES 3.1
Specification."

This makes things a bit more complicated I guess, in any case it makes
clear that this is not exactly what the ES spec expects, so I need to
rethink how to approach this.
