Yes, regardless how you deploy, you can deploy one-by-one.

If you deploy by copying your WARs to standalone/deployments, then yes, you can (1) start an empty server and then (2) copy the wars one-by-one manually or using a shell script. However, it is quite possible that your problem will re-appear when you shut down and start up the fully deployed server again. To solve that, maybe you could have a script to undeploy the WARs before shutting the server down.

You can reach a similar effect also using jboss-cli: (1) start an empty server (2) connect your cli client jboss-cli.sh --connect and (3) deploy the WARs one-by-one: deploy ~/Desktop/my-app1.war ... See https://docs.wildfly.org/16/Admin_Guide.html#standalone-server-3
