Hence the caveat: "and hope/trust that the entropy you observe is unique, not copied to any other instances".

I suppose it would take a centralized web service to detect correlated unrandomness between servers. I am not personally willing to implement such a service right now.

Even if entropy isn't shared, you can't really test a CSPRNG by feeding it through "ent".
