My guess is that this line: [one, two, branch_skip_upload] >> join >> finish
Requires all 3 tasks to complete. This may or may not be true--I haven't needed to rejoin branched tasks yet. Given this though, all 3 of these cannot complete. There may be a way to say "at least 1" has to complete, in which case you'll have to join one & two into the same path. Hope that helps until somebody can confirm or deny.
