Yes, this is in general what is necessary between distributed communication partners (a.k.a. Actors). There are several reasons why no error reply is generated: which type should it have? (thinking ahead towards Akka Typed, but the question is semantically relevant already today) And how reliable is this notification? Our experience is that people will inevitably rely upon features as soon as they exist, not considering whether the feature has a caveat like “non-delivery may go undetected”.
As a general side note (independent of this thread): exposing DeadLetters via the EventStream has already inspired several teams to implement “reliable delivery” based on this loss notification, but please always remind yourself that deadLetters are not reliable themselves!
