It does. GeoServer is setup to "fail fast" instead of having you discover two months later that half of your data hasn't been available because of a data connection or configuration problem. To get to that error someone must have removed the sld file manually, something we strongly discourage. The two supported ways to manage the configuration are the web gui or the rest config interface. In your case the layer ro305_wgs84 has been associated with that sld style, which then someone removed below GS feet. I know that some people prefer to have issues like this hidden under the carpet and have the code do a best effort to generate a valid capabilities document instead. It could be done, but you'd then have to check in the logs wheter the layers are in order or not, telling apart exception caused by invalid requests from actual failures due to invalid configuration. This is a choice of philosofy, of approach to managing a production instance, one of those choices that normally finds people in opposite camps. I guess it could become a configuration option (it's also a slippery slope, after caps people will start asking that in case the sld is missing we be more lenient and use some default style, that a layer group displays only the layers that are working and ignore the others, and so on...)
