Unlikely to provide a strong confirmation or repudiation of the current data because it’s instruments are not designed for it.
What’s more interesting is RocketLabs planned probe, which would actually enter the atmosphere. I’m amazed they can get even a small probe to Venus with their booster. If they do that will be very impressive.
Why would it be "a complete fluke"? I mean, it is lucky that we get a Venus flyby so close to the announcement about phosphine, but it's not like the capsule was on that way by mistake or had no other purpose...
