How reliably does that work? If I were writing an MTA I'd think a mix of 2xx and 5xx is likely but 2xx and 4xx is unexpected.

Both the 4xx and 5xx can occur. The latter might be for a "mailbox not found" reply code. The receiver might not want the sending MTA to retry in such a case. The mix usually works.
