This is certainly not true. UDP is not sensitive in that respect at al.

More important is that you do not want to tunnel protocols that have 
their own consistency management (TCP, NFS) through another protocol 
that does the same thing. Imagine both the TLS/TCP layer and the NFS 
protocol both to do re-transmits on top of one-another. UDP is 
specifically well suited for tunneling whereas TCP certainly isn't. Read 
the documentation on the CIPe website.
