It may not always be sufficient, but remember that when you use
proxyjump (or equivalent proxycommand) then no agent forwarding is
used; all SSH process which authenticate execute only locally and
connect directly to your agent.

So agent forwarding is only /required/ when you run interactive shells
on intermediate remote hosts.
