Yes.  RTP packets sent over UDP (as they usually are) are unreliable.

Because even if one slice of a picture is lost, the other slices of the picture 
will get delivered, and (depending on the decoder) should be able to get 
rendered and displayed.

It depends upon your network.  Usually, lost packets happen infrequently.

You would reconfigure your encoder to generate each 'key frame' as a sequence 
of 'slice' NAL units, instead of as a single NAL unit.
