To put a unit in a slice, one uses by default Slice=myslice.slice and the default behaviour is to add Wants=myslice.slice to the unit. If the unit will always fail to start if myslice.slice fails then I would say the default behaviour should be Requires=myslice.slice. I think getting an clean error to inform that the slice can't be started at first and not trying to start the unit (which will crash anyway) is more appropriate than getting a big fat obscure warning because my unit will fail to start.
