Answer:
I can give you my own experience; I have done that several times without problems raised by certification bodies.
If you check the definition of auditor on ISO 19011:2018 versus the one on ISO 19011:2011 you can see that the independence requirement was dropped. See also ISO 9001:2015 clause 9.2.2 c), what is important is to ensure objectivity and impartiality. I work on that by preparing my checklists and leaving audit reports that describe precisely what I found.
