Since most tests should be passing by the time the release workflow is run, we may be able to run that workflow without also triggering all tests (since the release workflow isn't testing anything new e.g. unit tests/integration tests).
the caveat is that there are a few integration tests that currently only run on a release workflow that we'd need to address: atlas-tests, epoch-tests, and the so-called "slow-tests" come to mind.
