No I wouldn't but that's a different case.

If I build on amd64 and do a binary upload I can't ignore build failures
with -B, because the package won't be available on the other
architectures and that's indeed a serious issue impacting the users. On
the other hand, if -A fails I'm still able to upload the architecture
independent packages and there is no impact for the users.

-A failures are only relevant for source only uploads, and as long as
they aren't mandatory I don't think this kind of issue should have a
severity higher than important.
