Generally speaking: yes. It will prevent build issues in case B is accepted
before A. I have personally seen that on the rare cases that I have
uploaded a number of NEW packages in rapid succession.

In my specific situation, I violated the common sense recommendation
because I was trying to get a number of packages through NEW for a
time-sensitive COVID-19-related effort. That still hasn't completely sorted
out but the urgency of the global need overrode the risk of build issues.
In normal cases, avoiding build issues will be a higher priority.

I hope that example helps to clarify the judgment call needed for the
situation!
