side steps the issues of SPF failing,

It does not. As recently discussed, Gmail plays a game of trying to guess whether SPF should have failed on a previous hop, rather than just the connected peer. If they see a hop that accepted from a source that SPF does not authorize and if not an RFC1918 address or an IPv6 LLA the result is failure -- they don't accept the common indication of SMTP AUTH, e.g., ESMTPSA, likely to catch when leaked credentials are (ab)used, but it also "catches" roaming users.

This is also done for messages fetched via POP with the result that some are given the spam label while some are skipped.

  spam labeled (details in Gmail web MUA indicate SPF failure):

    Delivered-To: m...@some.corp
    Received: from not-within-spf-its-a-forking-cafe ... by mail.some.corp with 
ESMTPSA ...
    From: <anot...@some.corp>
    To: <m...@some.corp>

  not saved, which seems the POP fetch equivalent of an SMTP reject:

    Delivered-To: m...@some.corp
    Received: from their-mta-wthin-spf ... by mail.some.corp with ESMTPS ...

    To: <m...@some.corp>

  spam labeled -- more verbose:

Good thing I don't do the same silliness else a daily email I get from them would be rejected at end of DATA or dumped in my spam folder since "domain of u...@gmail.com does not designate 24.199.x.x as permitted sender" ...
