I'm definitely not against this is we find a proper way to display it
(in terms of interaction). Just to have some mockup to discuss upon, in
the one on the blueprint we might display a "Success" for one second
after "Start Tails" is clicked and before we start opening the desktop
environment.

Right, another possibility that might be worth investigating would be a
timeout to automatically check the passphrase after some time of
inactivity in the passphrase field. In case of failure we could silently
ignore it (not to annoy slow typers) and only display "wrong passphrase"
after clicking on "Start Tails".
