I understand that and in some cases it’s even narrower where one might just
be working on one distribution alone for single architecture for that case
failure on architectures they don’t care is
also a nuisance

It’s wide and far testing we can achieve is good for end user same goes for
multiple architectures if someone tests a given architecture and reports
build  failures then it’s good to acknowledge that imo

It’s not a blocker I expect someone interested in a given regression of
this kind to chime and help if possible so don’t see it as an impediment

If we remain cognizant of the fact that upstream might have wider usecases
we will generally be better off cumulatively
