Comment (by johnbillion):

 [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/ WordPress VIP loads
 several plugins as mu-plugins] (notably Jetpack and Query Monitor), it
 could be a good testing platform.

 > As Core has no way to know the name of the "loader" file used for the
 Must-Use plugin, add a filter to your loader file to let Core know the
 filename

 Yeah this is going to be a sticking point, I've worked on many sites where
 there's one `wp-content/mu-plugins/loader.php` type file that loads all
 mu-plugins.
