Certainly, I can make it work by not using a companion object and having the class annotated with @TestInstance(TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)...but still, I would like to use the companion object approach. Is there any workaround for this?

Strange, it should work. Only thing I can spot is that you're trying to assign null to non-nullable system, otherwise looks ok.
