That's fine, but it shouldn't be enforced on all contributors. What matters is that failures don't get merged, not that they don't get committed.

Yeah.

As long as "don't get merged" includes squashing so that whatever your (non)hooks didn't catch locally don't end up causing failures for rebases/merge conflict resolutions for others (assuming there are repo-level hooks people are expected to be using).
