> It's only "Okay" to not deliver on non-client facing services. Anything else is an unmeasurable risk

I disagree. The ability to handle data loss comes from the nature of the data, not whether it is client-facing or not. Banking transactions can almost never handle message loss, whether it is client-facing or not. On the other hand, a meal notification service could drop one or two messages and still work properly.
