Gerrit [...] doesn't add any benefit.

I'm not really sure about that (and to be more explicit, I'm sure of the contrary ;). JDT tests used to work well with Maven surefire, and they are currently failing. If the change causing the failure would have been pushed and validated by Gerrit, it would be way easier to find the cause of these failures and to avoid those red balls on Jenkins.
The difference is that you probably don't run surefire tests locally, so your local build doesn't guarantee fully working state.
