Symmetry between shenandoah_cast_not_null and must_be_not_null

Hi Roland,
I have a question about the symmetry between shenandoah_cast_not_null in sh/jdk{8u,9}, and
must_be_not_null in sh/jdk10.
sh/jdk10: library_call.cpp uses this method with do_replace_in_map = true in most cases:
Node* GraphKit::must_be_not_null(Node* value, bool do_replace_in_map);
sh/jdk8u and sh/jdk9: library_call.cpp uses this helper method that calls into cast_not_null with
do_replace_in_map = false
Node* shenandoah_cast_not_null(Node* n) {
return UseShenandoahGC ? cast_not_null(n, false) : n;
}
Node* GraphKit::cast_not_null(Node* obj, bool do_replace_in_map);
Is it safe to replace must_be_not_null(node, true) with shenandoah_cast_not_null(node) when backporting?
Thanks,
-Aleksey
