Why not keep it simple?  The similar feature this most resembles is 'make -k'
and its help page has

       -k, --keep-going
       
                   Continue as much as possible after an error.  While the
                   target that failed, and those that depend on it, cannot be
                   remade, the other dependencies of these targets can be
                   processed all the same.
