This might be reasonable for modules with active maintainers only - if a
maintainer is reviewing and approving MRs for the component they should be
willing to fix the CI.

I see no reason not to do that. Again, maintainers should be willing to fix
the CI. If it's really unfixable, they can make a case for excluding the
test unit. "Other knowledgeable persons" may not have an expectation to fix
it but will likely want to know anyway.
