The rationale of ital-axis-not-last should provide actual rationale, not simply a failure message.
The original issue https://github.com/fonttools/fontbakery/issues/3669 seems to have a decent rationale, if a little brief. It would be even better if we could show evidence of whether it actually causes problems to have the Italic axis listed before custom axes, but I can imagine this being useful after reading at least the basic rationale.
