This, like many other current network flow innovations (see: QUIC), is greedy-algorithm short-sightedness that only works as a result of the improvements to regional/inter-datacenter networking over the last decade. They fall down miserably in the face of actual unreliability/variable latency/packet duplication, which still exist on many less developed networks worldwide.

Practically, this is nothing more than a type of "QoS" flag, where of course things would also break down if everything started giving themselves priority 1. So it depends more upon whether the use case is appropriate than it does about technical implementation.
