Choirs accompanying soul artists is not unheard of, but yeah, it does seem to be more of a tool that’s leveraged when the sound feels right for a track, rather than being a core part of the act. The linked song is verging pretty close to “regular” gospel, but the lyrics are a bit too modern and on the nose for church, I’d think.

Yeah this one slaps. Definitely an acceptable level of churchiness!
