Surprisingly, blockwise decides to merge the two output layers. This really throws things off. The test passes right now by disabling an aggressive assertion, but we need more robust validation here.

Subject: [PATCH 09/10] Remove waiting for shuffle_init

See https://github.com/dask/distributed/pull/5524#discussion_r752647896. Since messages from scheduler to workers remain ordered in `BatchedSend` (and TCP preserves ordering), we should be able to count on the `shuffle_init` always hitting the worker before the `add_partition` does, so long as we trust the transition logic of our plugin.
