The SmartDashboard could become unsynchronized for any number of reasons, and cause writes to fail. If they do fail, then without the patch you will lose control of your robot. SmartDashboard uses a separate communications channel than the DS comms, so just because the DS didn't lose any packets doesn't mean SmartDashboard packets were not lost.
The fact that removing SmartDashboard from your code solved the problem indicates a high probability that you are affected by the issue, even if the cause isn't exactly the same.
