SERVER-87479 will add more test cases to test SBE eligible pipelines on 7.3, 7.0, and 6.0 (that is, adds more tests which combine find stages, i.e. $match $sort $project $limit $skip with an SBE eligible $group or $lookup). However, we would like to have increased test coverage for SBE on released configurations. To do this, we propose adding a minimal trySbeEngine variant on these versions to test $match $sort $project $limit $skip pipelines (and equivalent find commands) which can become SBE eligible with a $lookup and $group.

To minimize the risk of generating BFs from this variant (which is technically testing a disabled configuration), we propose:

• Selecting a minimal number of suites to give us basic coverage.
• [optionally] Running this variant less frequently to minimize noise.
