> We have encountered several instances of improper heading order (e.g. an <h4> above an <h3>), but we can't seem to find a firm agreement as to a) whether
The deciding factor is whether the missing or incorrect order correctly communicates information and relationships that are communicated visually. So, an h2 used with a navigation bar used before the main h1 of a page would not in my opinion fail WCAG. However, if an h4 was used before an h3 but visually communicated that it was a lesser importance or lower in the structure than that would be a failure.
