That is not very useful, because the forwarder can have many MTAs -
all with different HELOs.  And the set is subject to change.

Whitelisting can include wildcards, like *.mailout.forwarder.com or
even *.forwarder.com.

And SPF already has the machinery for that and more.  Why not use it?
True, it is not a MAIL FROM identity, but it is a "virtual" MAIL FROM
identity - the one that would be used if MAIL FROM were rewritten.

I was talking about SPF checks of the HELO identity: 1. SPF-verify HELO 
identity, 2. apply white-list against verified HELO identity, possibly 
using wildcards (depending on the white-list entries). :-)
