Maybe it's a me thing, but I just can't picture jumping into the middle like that. The only exception I really see for myself is Published Vs Chronological order (ala Michelle West). Even then, I tend to stick to published order as it's often rough to revisit an author's earlier works after reading their later ones.
Also... Reddit really has some hot takes regarding Malazan. The fools.
In medias wreck...
Sure, if a book is intentionally written in that style. However, we weren't talking about that, but instead an instance where you're clearly meant to have read 2-4 books prior. -

Two scenarios OtToMH: 1. first two books suck and book 3 (or the internet) contains more than adequate summary of what you need to know 2. series is actually a self-contained duology followed by self-contained trilogy and you don't mind spoilers for the duology (or it doesn't contain them, or you can have AI remove them or bleep them out)---or in this case the first three books are supposedly like a self-contained trilogy which implies the last two may be like a self-contained duology, thus the possibility of skipping to 4 and 5.
It's not unthinkable, it's borderline accepted reality that Shannara reads better if you start w book 2. I see people on reddit proselytizing starting Malazan w Midnight Tides (heretics). It really doesn't work for Raksura tho, and while Murderbot might maybe possibly be ok, the read wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable.
