Error on joining branches: Flow is aborted due to ['gateway'] can not be started.

Thank you very much for the excellent effort and time you have invested in Jina!

Describe the bug I ran the example from the documentation for joining the different branches and noticed that an error occurs:

from jina import Executor, requests, Flow
from docarray import DocList
from docarray.documents import TextDoc

class FooExecutor(Executor):
    @requests
    async def foo(self, docs: DocList[TextDoc], **kwargs) -> DocList[TextDoc]:
        docs.append(TextDoc(text=f'foo was here and got {len(docs)} document'))

class BarExecutor(Executor):
    @requests
    async def bar(self, docs: DocList[TextDoc], **kwargs) -> DocList[TextDoc]:
        docs.append(TextDoc(text=f'bar was here and got {len(docs)} document'))

class BazExecutor(Executor):
    @requests
    async def baz(self, docs: DocList[TextDoc], **kwargs) -> DocList[TextDoc]:
        docs.append(TextDoc(text=f'baz was here and got {len(docs)} document'))

f = (
    Flow()
    .add(uses=FooExecutor, name='fooExecutor')
    .add(uses=BarExecutor, name='barExecutor', needs='fooExecutor')
    .add(uses=BazExecutor, name='bazExecutor', needs='fooExecutor')
    .add(needs=['barExecutor', 'bazExecutor'])
)

Running:

with f:
    print(f.post('/', return_type=DocList[TextDoc]).text)

Results in:

RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Flow._wait_until_all_ready.<locals>._f' was never awaited (raised from 
/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/jina/orchestrate/flow/base.py:1988)

Describe how you solve it I don't know a solution, but the following code works fine:

f = (
    Flow()
    .add(uses=FooExecutor, name='fooExecutor')
    .add(uses=BarExecutor, name='barExecutor', needs='fooExecutor')
    .add(uses=BazExecutor, name='bazExecutor', needs='fooExecutor')
    # .add(needs=['barExecutor', 'bazExecutor'])
)

Environment

I could reproduce this error on Google Colab as well as on Paperspace Gradient.
