Hello Simon,
 
From what I am told, the answer is no. As you correctly point out a network can work as intended with rib failues, as all it means (as I'm sure you know) is that the same route with a lower admin distance is available.
 
In fact I can think of a number of scenarios where the exam could ask you to stop a prefix from being advertized to a peer, then forbid all the usual mechanisms and leave you with the use of the BGP command bgp suppress-inactive that prevents rib failure routes from being advertized in updates.

overcome a Rib failure.

Is having a RIB failure in your bgp table frowned upon in the Real Lab??
Would this lose you marks??

Thanks in advance

Simon
