...what if some of the footage used for the Director's Edition can't be presented in native 4K? TNG lost some footage and had to up convert it from SD. Could the footage from the SLV be lost as well?

Ooo, I hope not.

Assets for the Trek films were always kept separate from the Paramount/UPN series and were likely fully catalogued during the Robert Wise restoration project, which also led to the remastering of the soundtrack, with unreleased music assets. The SLV might be an actual film-print that was put together, though it's hard to say without actual archival knowledge of the assets and only someone like MM, who was behind the remastering of TMP, would likely have that knowledge.
