I think it's fair to describe "tests are order dependent" as technical debt. Taking on a bit of technical debt for better code velocity is an option.
It may be a good option (depending on the situation); but with such tech debt, there are risks like bugs which might not be found until later, or some other impact which could make it much harder to maintain.
