Whether or not a Phantom ingestion would cause a failure of any kind is immaterial. Any kind of contact with another vessel is to be avoided at all costs. Lack of RC/drone rules or not, in the higher altitudes there are other vehicles that are already licensed, regulated and certified. They are outfitted with radios and collision detection systems to avoid each other. But they cannot spot or avoid a Phantom BLOS at 3,000ft.
Bottom line is every time you fly your Phantom, you need to realize you share the air and you're the new guy with the disruptive technology causing the problem. If someone flies BLOS into air traffic having not taken any precautions, they will likely get done for negligence. As they should.
