Would you unconditionally accept postings received at your list host from a backup MX?

I'd say it's up to the list admin. that's the advantage of allowing the admin to approve given IP addresses as approved addresses for that email. it can be dealt with on a case by case basis. And if you run into a case where an approved IP is abused, you remvoe it from the approval list and manually moderate those messages.
