We've been stooging around PNG under IFR for years and years without any ground based navaids (except for Port Moresby and Madang), and in aircraft fitted with only a single GPS receiver. It's never been a problem operationally. Plan B if the GPS receiver went down whilst in cloud would be to DR navigate to some ocean and then decend until visual, turn around to the coast and continue VFR.
