Beamer: Multirow in fancy table

Question

Following up on this question I asked some time ago, I am facing a similar scenario, but for the life of me I do not seem to get it right with the solution provided in the question above, and I have no clue...

The following is a MWE, all I want to do is to merge rows vertically (multirow), so that "Preventative impacts of RA" and its corresponding "G5 vehicle UVB 40h" span 4 rows, and "Preventative impacts of RP" and its corresponding "G5 vehicle UVB 40h" span 3 rows.

How should I do it? Many thanks!!

Please don't use \resizebox for elements that contain text, you will end up with a suboptimal font size, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/425453/why-not-scale-elements-that-contain-text for further information — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Nov 19 '18 at 09:25
the multicol cells should have the color of the first single cell the text appears (here in all cases light pink) — DaniCee, Nov 20 '18 at 01:38

With {NiceTabular} of nicematrix (≥ 6.1 of 2021-08-20).

You need several compilations (because nicematrix uses PGF/Tikz nodes under the hood).
