true. I thought cargo planes are often used for troop transport and this would be the same, but if they're solely using it for cargo/fuel it should be fine.

Modern tankers are actually multirole aircraft which can carry small amounts of cargo and/or personnel when necessary. This makes operations more flexible. With something like a KC-46 the entire fuselage including the cargo area is pressurized.
