Thats not correct like that.
libavcodec can decode things with many more slices than what is set
in MAX_SLICES. For example it bitexactly decodes the whole set of
reference streams that it supports with MAX_SLICES set to 2.

Its just in corner cases with many slices in a single row where the
loop filter strength can be slightly off if libavcodec has been
compiled with a too small MAX_SLICES.

Its not that you shouldnt use gotos but rather that you should write
readable code and code with gotos often but not always is less readable
