Of course!  It was so obvious that we missed seeing it!  Simply do a
normal redirect of stdout to the process.  Thanks Bernhard for
pointing this out.

This is also true of the >(process substitutions) too.

  echo foo | tee >(sleep 2 && cat) > >(sleep 5 && cat)

This really argues against any need for --no-stdout.  Because if one
wants --no-stdout it means one has forgotten about a normal
redirection.
