I suggest to increase the priority of the elderAddExternalHelpers hook registered on bootstrap. The "informal" hook contract mentions that the valid range of priority values is from 1 to 100. If the priority of the elderAddExternalHelpers is 1 (lowest) then there's no way to register another bootstrap hook that can meaningfully utilize helpers.
A workaround seems to be to simply ignore the informal spec and register a hook with priority 0. This hook will have access to functionality implemented by helpers.
