A11y testing with Android - turn off TalkBack "Enhanced focus"?

A question to those testing the accessibility of stuff (in my case
native apps) under Android: When you test, do you turn off the TalkBack
setting "Enhanced focus" (I believe this is on by default)? When it is
turned on and you navigate back using in-app back buttons or the Android
device back button, focus returns to where it was on the prior view.

For meaningful TalkBack testing, It seems reasonable to have this
setting activated because it is default and secondly it seems mostly
beneficial for users (focus lands at the start of the view othwerwise).
I am just concerned that having it on may mask  some app focus issues or
distort results in some other way. Any thoughts?
