I'm hoping to be able to determine the liveness/reachability of a datagram peer, at least roughly, without taking on the complexity of additional messaging (or group membership and join/leave tracking).

It depends on the socket type and state. If it is a connected socket 
there is a built-in mechanism that will make sure that the peer socket 
is immediately notified, and the user will receive this notification. 
The same is the case with group sockets.
For DGRAM sockets there is no such mechanism, since it is impossible for 
TIPC to know which peers need to be supervised.
