Is it safe to override the existing monkeypatch fixture?

Is it safe to override the existing monkeypatch fixture as shown below?

# tests/conftest.py
import pytest

class ExtendedMonkeyPatch(pytest.MonkeyPatch):   # type: ignore
    def setenvs(self, envs, prepend=None):
        for name, value in envs.items():
            self.setenv(name, value, prepend)

    def delenvs(self, names, raising=True):
        for name in names:
            self.delenv(name, raising)


@pytest.fixture
def monkeypatch():
    """
    Overrides the default monkeypatch fixture to add `setenvs` and `delenvs` methods.
    """
    with ExtendedMonkeyPatch().context() as mp:
        yield mp

With the code as proposed here it seems safe enough.

Generally it's not advised to override the built-in fixtures.

In this particular case it's a strict extension for convenience, so it's admissible.
