There's reason to believe that the flakiness in #87783 is caused by concurrency issues in the ACE/Access OleDB driver being used (e.g. here). So as an easy attempt to get rid of the flakiness, I'm disabling parallelization altogether in these tests. I suggest we merge this and observe what happens in the next few days/weeks.
If this doesn't fix the flakiness, we should move away from ACE to SQL Server / LocalDB. There's a good chance we'd need to install components on the runner image though, so we'd probably want to skip the tests until that happens.
