Exclude a specific job from workflow concurrency

Body

I have a workflow with 3 jobs. I am using concurrency with cancel-in-progress: true, so that the workflow will cancel if another run is started for the same branch. But I wanted to exclude the last job of the workflow run, in a way that if the workflow has reached the last job, the job won't get canceled by another enqueued job and will be executed. I saw that we can pass a logical expression to cancel-in-progress key and could add something like: cancel-in-progress: ${{ github.job != 'last_job' }} but my first job uses test matrixes and I can see there is an issue where only the last initialised matrix job will start executing and not get canceled. So I really can't use job level concurrency. Is there a more elegant way of ignoring cancel-in-progress only for a specific job, except of setting if: always() to that job?
