I think these were here to work around flaky tests, but the tests consistently pass now. Also, the script take a lot longer to complete when there are legitimate failures and it makes debugging problems much slower.

Yes, this was for flaky tests and flaky builds.
In particular, on my machine mt.exe would often fail to update a file right after linking, due to corporate antivirus getting in the way, which could break both regular builds and check-targets.
The consecutive ninja invocations was a hacky way to handle that, but if this is not an issue on the CI, removing them sounds good to me.
