Your example is not reproducible. I recommend using the reprex package to get your examples in shape.
You don't have to have NA in your data to encounter a problem... all you need is transformations during your analysis that runs into domain violations to create NA along the way... negative numbers into powers or log or sqrt... kind of things. Read the documentation for your analysis packages carefully.
