Theoretically yes, if you measuring a physical contiguous value, you can
live with losses. You cannot if you have discrete stuff: commands, impulses
etc.
But in reality even with physical values, if you have two, which are later
used in some sort of control loop, you have to ensure them coherent. You
could reconstruct missing points using time stamps, but then you would have
to add stamps, synchronize clocks etc. In the end something always emerges
on top of UDP.
Even for broadcasting purposes there exist stream-oriented protocols, which
are safe. We tested PGM, which showed quite decent latencies comparing to
TCP/IP + NO_DELAY.
