It depends on what your definition of failing might be. Reaction of the target audience or in more of a quality of performance sense.
"Jumping Jack Flash" usually passes both. "Miss You" only passes one of them.

Exactly. And the majority of the audience is happy with just having Miss You, IORR and SFTD to sing along to. Mission accomplished.

I guess that where you happened to write IORR, you really had YCAGWYW in mind.

Actually not. MY, IORR and SFTD are the ones that people are singing on their way from the shows. Even though they don't open for a crowd singalong during IORR on the shows, it's just infectious (And Mick knows it)

i dont like the idea of the stones playing warhorses to death. it sort of implies that certain songs are so much better than everything made in the same time period which is not always the case.
is its only rock and roll better than if you cant rock me
is tumbling dice the best song on exile
is start me up the best post 1980 stones song ever
is you got me rocking in the list of top 20 stones songs ever
my answer to these questions would be no.
warhorses dont always represent the best songs, and should be rotated more to leave space for the other songs they could include that are also well known.

But let's turn it the other way round. Since 1989, how many non warhorses generated the same excitement level of a warhorse? I mean, in the whole venue, not just in the diehards section.
As far as I can remember, Knocking is a sure call. But how many more?

Everyone knows them, and they're fun to play, even after 100 years.

None WRITTEN after 1977, if you want to get technical

I think we can say 1976, as I believe SMU and MY were (at least partly) written before 1977

After the Bigger Bang release I seriously thought that Oh No Not You Again would become a warhorse once. Really like the song during ABB tour. But maybe I am the only one?!

Consider it a warpony...similar to what happened with Doom and Gloom.
Seems they want to add another warhorse by forcing the issue, but when a song stinks the crowd reaction lets them know it.
Out of Control and You Got Me Rocking could have been contenders, and seems they still want that to happen - the latter with the "Hey Hey" part that seems to go over ok with the audience.
