I know that consecutive R-Type instructions can cause a hazard, for example:

add $2, $2, $1
add $2, $2, $3

but can consecutive I-Type instructions? For example:

addi $2, $0, 10
addi $2, $0, 5

    given your case of:

    addi $2, $0, 10 
    addi $2, $0, 5
    

    you will never encounter a data hazard because you are never reading a value after it is being written (read after write)

    maybe think of it like this:

    $2 = $0 + 10
    $2 = $0 + 5
    

    you can see that $2 is not being used in the second calculation and $0 is not being changed, so there is no data hazard.

    if you were to do this:

    addi $2, $0, 10 # $2 = $0 + 10
    addi $3, $2, 5  # $3 = $2 + 5
    

    pipelining will not guarantee that $2 is the expected value when it is read during the second calculation.

    consider that lw and sw are also I-type instructions;

    RAW
        A Read After Write hazard occurs when, in the code as written, one instruction
        reads a location after an earlier instruction writes new data to it, but in the
         pipeline the write occurs after the read (so the instruction doing the read gets stale data).
    WAR
        A Write After Read hazard is the reverse of a RAW: in the code a write occurs after a read,
         but the pipeline causes write to happen first.
    WAW
        A Write After Write hazard is a situation in which two writes occur out of order. We normally
        only consider it a WAW hazard when there is no read in between; if there is, then we have a RAW
        and/or WAR hazard to resolve, and by the time we've gotten that straightened out the WAW has 
        likely taken care of itself.

    given that the operations for reading and writing data are I-type instructions and given the definition of these potential data hazards, yes, I-type instructions can still have a hazard.
