In general, I like this approach. It's simple and roughly matches
our conservative assumptions we used for broadcast packets, too.
That is 3x transmissions per packet.

Lukonin's approach sounds more accurate in theory. But should
probably have a bit more testing and reviewable test results due to
it's slightly higher complexity.
