For groups that don't intend to move specs to Recommendation, the template suggests removing any mention of independent interoperable implementations from the success criteria section.

Interoperable implementations should be a success criterion for every Working Group. Publishing Candidate Review Snapshots that never see interoperable implementation should be a clear failure condition.

Also:

All new features should be supported by at least two intents to implement before being incorporated in the specification

This is not a success criterion, but an entry criterion. This does not demonstrate interoperability as a success criterion: that multiple browser vendors intend to ship something does not mean that they did ship and that it was implemented in an interoperable way.

Note that, with the current process, the check of interoporable implementations is only when transitioning to PR:
[[
must show adequate implementation experience except where an exception is approved by a Team Decision,
]]

For a Candidate Recommendation, the Process only requires{
[[
must document how adequate implementation experience will be demonstrated,
]]
