It's not a general requirement, no.  Before the advent of `:nth-child()`, it *definitely* wasn't true of ordinary CSS; if you wanted a unique path, you had to make sure it was unique yourself, and possible add a uniquifier, like an ID.  The "supported in stylesheets" variants of shadow selectors we appear to be settling on (`::part()`) also don't support that requirement, since they're equivalent to classes.
