No, that is exactly the **one and only thing** that can refer to the hidden class:

[(Souce)](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/20/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/invoke/MethodHandles.Lookup.html#defineHiddenClass%28byte%5B%5D,boolean,java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption...%29)

As the passed class refers to `this_class`, that use is fine.
