If we were interested in testing and understanding the usefulness of a

As with most "this was a cover for something sneaky" hypotheses, one
weakness here is that it's assumed nobody could tell the difference.
Those satellites would have to be awfully small to be reliably invisible.
I don't say it's impossible but it's quite a stretch.
