You can mitigate the effects by splitting your fleets. As an extreme example, if you send 10 fleets rather than 1 then you can be fairly sure that 90% of your fleet will arrive.
When colonising, send 2 coloniser hulls (individual fleets) with a bunch of privateers split into 2 fleets. Make sure that the colonising fleets arrive with enough pop and minerals to put up a gate within 3 years.

Yes you could play your game in such a fashion, but there's two difficulties I see with this, as follows:
1) As already mentioned by Leit, there's the difficulty with the 512 fleet limit (although admittedly at the start that shouldn't be a problem).
2) Duplicating, your colonisation is actually quite expensive. It's easy to think that hey you're only sending one extra coloniser/privateer to take a planet, but if you do that for every world that you want to occupy, there's a cost to build into your efforts. Sometimes it might happen to work out that there's two or more suitable colonies in the same direction and in this circumstance it would work very well. Generally for a tri-immune or wide hab race it would be quite a good strategy, but otherwise for most races I don't think the overall game expense of doing such a thing would be worthwhile.
