Yes, that works too, if you will create a new dedicated identity (or
reuse one that already has true for a shell).  command="/bin/true"
in authorized_keys will work in any event (though something like
/bin/echo OK might give a more positive confirmation).

The line in authorized_keys should also disallow all the extra
goodies like port forwarding, X tunneling, and so on.
