No, it's not illegal to retry a call to the same gateway (in case of 6xx 
response).

Nor is it illegal to reject it. :-)

My experience in an applied sense with SSTs (SIP Session Timers) is that they 
are poorly supported, seemingly due to all the state-keeping involved. Many UAs 
commit to a refresher role, for instance, but don't actually issue the 
reinvites to refresh.

Instead, it is a more commonplace to approach to just use nullary-change 
reinvites for signalling-level DPD (dead peer detection), without the baggage 
of SSTs. So for instance, there are a lot of carriers out there whose equipment 
will just send you a reinvite every 15 minutes to check if you're alive, quite 
regardless of any SSTs, roles, support for SSTs, etc.
