Could you attach a screenshot or preferably .blend file of a situation where a piece of a curve is not visible because of this?

Thanks, I can see the problem. Don't know if it will count as a bug, but it definitely seems like something that should be there. Let's wait for a developer to chime in.

Couple of notes:

This was also the case in 2.79 [no All Edges toggle for curves]
nevertheless, 2.79 actually displayed all edges by default
in 2.8 this is dependent on the wireframe overlay setting, see https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/editors/3dview/controls/overlays.html#geometry, set this to 1.0 and you'll see all edges...

It is pretty confusing though that this setting [overlay wireframe_threshold] is used for the objects wireframe forced drawing (esp. when they dont have the show_all_edges setting showing in the UI and especially when you have wireframes in overlays actually disabled...)

@WilliamReynish: I dont have a real solution, we could just add show_all_edges for curves as well in OBJECT_PT_display? It seems to work just fine...
(in that file call C.active_object.show_all_edges = True with the Curve selected)

Anyways, will leave that up to @WilliamReynish

This is by design:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/scene_layout/object/properties/display.html#viewport-display

It is not a bug, but perhaps a limitation.
