This is one of the reasons why using a tool that allows you to customize the rule set can be valuable.

While skipping heading levels isn't a violation, not skipping heading levels also conformant and is also strongly recommended by the WCAG specs. So, for your organization, you might want to call this a violation.

For me, it comes down to how close you want to get to that line between accessible and inaccessible. Do you want to be close to the line or well inside it?
