I don't know if slivers have been described differently elsewhere, but on a recent podcast, MaRo described slivers as shapeshifters. Because they're a hivemind, if one sliver learns how to shapeshift a certain way, the others can do that too. Now, let's assume a sliver is born with a spark. Having a spark doesn't mean that the sliver knows how to shapeshift a spark, because that's impossible, so the other slivers wouldn't be able to planeswalk.
Note: This is all conjecture. It's also based off of something MaRo said, and he's not always totally accurate with flavor.

I would presume that Slivers do have a mechanism for queen replacement under normal circumstances, as with social insects. A Planeswalker Queen would likely birth a reproductive female before departing, and upon arrival in the new plane begin to spawn a new brood.
