You'll need more data than 2 grumpy HR persons. Perhaps time for A/B testing. One issue used to be holes in employment - or rather having a good story for them. Maybe, maybe not. You can't satisfy everyone anyway. You could keep your resume hole-free without wasting much of people's time. Another is, can you really not find anything relevant in these previous jobs? If only something in the direction of "solid work ethic"? Sometimes it takes a little creativity but it's still there. And it doesn't need to waste much space on the page. There are a lot of options between "not mentioning anything" and "2 pages".
