Publishing many modules with dependencies is difficult due to eventual consistency

Steps to reproduce

We publish almost 180 modules (AWS.Tools.*) to PowerShell Gallery in large batches. These modules have dependencies on each other. I wrote a script that looks at RequiredModules, resolves the dependency graph and does Publish-Module in the right order. Even if I only try publishing a module when all its dependencies are already published, I still receives failures because Publish-Module checks for presence on the PSGallery of the dependencies and PSGallery doesn't reliably report that the modules I have just published are actually there. Because of the large number of modules we are publishing, waiting minutes between each Publish-Module invocation is not an option.

Expected behavior

Either PSGallery could guarantee consistency in a specific amount of time for this particular use case (for example wait 5 seconds after Publish-Module succeeds before calling Publish-Module for a dependent module); or there could be a Publish-Module switch to disable dependency checking.
