I don't understand your position. Without this patch, executing
`org-babel-execute-buffer' will just crash if a block can't be
executed. What problem can skipping those could cause?

I use text-mode blocks to represent output of bash scripts as in:
#+name: repo-test-check
#+begin_src sh :exports both :results output raw :wrap SRC text
git log --oneline
#+end_src
#+RESULTS: repo-test-check
#+begin_SRC text
cfd2b (HEAD -> main) Empty
#+end_SRC
The second block can't be executed because no
`org-babel-execute:text` function exists.
Best
