SIP still has a reliability layer built on top: the humans will say “I didn’t catch that, can you repeat yourself?“ on the video call.

More so than that, SIP itself has a ACK system to resend dropped packets or report failures.

The RTP part will carry the "can you repeat that" part, unless you're sending DM's over SIP INFO messages.
