I think it makes sense to have a criterion to ensure, at minimum, that
the screen reader is working throughout the initial setup process, yes.
orca was completely broken in F33 until last week [1] and we only
noticed by coincidence, since it doesn't get tested much.
Unfortunately right now the login screen is not accessible (regression,
[2]). gnome-initial-setup is pretty hard to use with just a screen
reader. And anaconda doesn't seem to be accessible at all (at least, I
don't know how to get orca to read anything in anaconda). So things
would probably need to first be in better shape before we can actually
start enforcing a blocker criterion to ensure it stays working....
