Having one arch significantly slower than the others absolutely creates
material impact upon developers.

I haven't run this by anybody yet, so if it's nonsense just say so, but...

Would it be reasonable to, even amongst primary architectures, allow these steps to go forward even if one arch fails while another succeeds? Let's say we have arch-groups in primary- i686 and x86_64 are in a group, armv7hl and armv5tel are in a group. The results of one group do not inhibit the progress of another. Feasible with a bit of retooling, or a nightmare waiting to happen? The discussion so far has focused almost exclusively on build time. We hear you. Let's talk about what to do about it. And what concerns there are besides build time.
