Yes, this is a context creation setup step that is done exactly once and
is invariant over the lifetime of these contexts.

I hadn't really thought about the child looking at the parent but I
believe it is safe. The child only looks up the parent when submissions
are in flight. We always have refs on the contexts when submissions are
in flight so we should be good - e.g. the last ref to parent is dropped
only after all submissions are done and the context is closed.
