IMO it would be impractical to require 100% translation, or 100% review.
Many documents seem to peak at 60 or 70% translation. For a book
project that probably means ie ~100% for release N-2 with no
retranslation on content updates. For an article collection, it would
mean no translated articles until all articles in a repo are
translated - hopefully, that's an unattainable moving target.
I believe most teams did not opt into review, and suspect we'll need
to investigate whether we can effectively choose only reviewed POs for
some languages.
Given these concerns it might be best to publish whatever translations
are available when we update the source content, plus periodic
rebuilds that only serve to update translated content.

Partial translation should stop being an issue when (if) we switch from
large books into series of short, mostly self-contained articles. Before
that happens, though, +1 from me for publishing partially translated
content. Maybe with some kind of threshold, something like "only publish
books with more than 50% strings translated" or something similar.
