    Would the table be visually clear if the borders were completely
    removed? Or would it be very difficult to work out where one cell/row
    starts and another one ends?
    
    If, with borders removed, the table becomes a confusing mess, then I'd
    say non-text contrast 3:1 should be applied. Basically, if the non-text
    "thing" is needed to understand visually what's going on, it should
    follow the ratio.
    
    And saying "it's essential that the border be faint as otherwise it's
    too visually busy" (if I understand what you're trying to get at
    correctly) is not really what the "essential" clause is about.
    
    In my view, anyway...
