Our concern is that daisy-chaining all of the motor controllers will be more prone to failure if even one of the motor controllers in the beginning of the daisy chain fails.

I believe that bobbysq meant
these wago lever nuts, just two connections. These will probably work OK, but the CAN connectors are more appropriately sized to CAN sized wire, making them easier to work with and less likely to reflect signals.
I understand that the motor controllers have a robust pass-through of the CAN lines; it would take a catastrophic motor controller failure to disrupt the daisy chain.
