Had a card marked

Mode CW
RST 59

Either something else was missing or you should have made a fuss about it.
RST is NOT required.

I can assure you that in last decade, my HF contact with Panama was
rejected -- it was a CW QSO and the mode and RST were missing.

Maybe in the eye of the checker huh ????

It was rejected for lack of the MODE. That is mandatory. RST is not.
The
ARRL rules are very clear on that.
