Rejecting pallets which can not be filled yet would result in the transporters constantly juggling around pallets until eventually the items for one are available.

Maybe have a look at the opportunistic combiner model Jason Lightfoot posted a couple years ago.

Instead of having the logic constantly search for all possible combinations, each waiting pallet would create a token to check for its requirements. Once they are fulfilled, the transport to a combiner for that pallet could be started.
