In that case the error is in a config file, and marking the service as
faulty makes sense. In the unit@instancetypo case, there's nothing
wrong with the system.

(Maybe I'm overzealous here, but my first experience with systemd when
it became default in Debian was setting up postgresql@.service, and
the fact that @typo was sticking around permanently was really
freaking me out, so I was glad I figured a way to avoid it. Iirc
"systemctl reset-failed" was only invented later.)
