fix: continue running jobs even if loading metadata fails

[radeksimko]

Prior to this patch we would skip running a number of jobs, including validation if loading metadata has failed.

Loading metadata can fail for example because variable block is incomplete. The earlydecoder should already provide partially decoded configuration anyway and hence enable the later validation, so we should not be blocking other jobs based on the failure here as we'd block useful diagnostics.

Similar to my other patch, this shouldn't need to be mentioned in the Changelog, since we have not yet exposed this bug to end users since we have not released validation yet.
