Yep, generally true. The exception would be CANCELs, since they are
hop-by-hop and require state in order to route. Another wrinkle is TCP
state if you use TCP or TLS, obviously.

But in the main, this is absolutely right. Restarting Kamailio isn't
that scary and doesn't inherently cause anything to drop or fail.
