Is the first frame playable by itself?

I think bidirectional prediction could be used to make a non-IDR first frame playable using intra refresh if predicted blocks in the first frame refer to intra blocks later in the GOP. But I'd be surprised someone would bother to make such an esoteric encoder feature. And that would require B-frames as well.

An interesting concept for a "crazy encoder stunt."
