One problem with thumping seems to be that the person opening a container is the one that determines what treasure comes out. Level, class and proficiencies are used in that process, so if your henchman knocks open all chests for you, you get lower level treasure of a type you're less likely able to use.
does the game look at the thumper or the opener? the opener (imo) would be the one who actually accesses his/ her inventory w/ the container item.

for example grimgaw pounds most of the chests to splinters, while my mage picks the the gear, i'm still the opener.

also my mage is the first to interact w/ the chests, (or in rare event the familliar) so i'm the first one to "toutch" the container i should still be the opener...

as proof i offer that i've finished chapter one w/ a mage and grimgaw almost exclusively, yet i've never found one pair of monk gloves.

the helm hold chest on the lower level can be picked & disarmed by a 10th lv pixie familliar. (contents harp of pandamonium, decent but not worth losing sleep over)
