Even so, it requires a BOINC mechanism, even if that mechanism can be
modified by flags at the server.

That's a question for each project, not BOINC centrally.

It comes in two parts:

Does it need fast (valid results)?
(e.g. to generate dependent work, or to purge processed files from a small
server)

Can it cope with fast errors?
(does the demand for new work from a fast-erroring host cause server
problems)
