(Whiteboard: [DataPlatform])

Airflow currently does not emit warning messages when jobs fail early in a DAG. Dependent jobs are never started, and jobs that do not start are not considered as failures. This currently affects jobs on the longitudinal DAG, but this seems like a generalized problem with airflow.

We could potentially make use of the SLA alerting functionality[1] in Airflow to send a notification if a task doesn't run by a certain time. [1] https://airflow.apache.org/concepts.html#slas

A work around that we've used for TAAR is to reduce the retry limit to one run.
