Are you suggesting to then merge this with testcases.dtb to get
static_test.dtb or keep two output files (static_test.dtb from
testcases.dtb + overlays and static_test2.dtb from overlay_base.dtb
and overlay.dtb) ?

Asking because as I mentioned earlier, overlay_base.dtb doesn't have
__overlay__ property for its nodes and we can't apply that to
testcases.dtb using fdtoverlay.
