Is there a specific problem you'd like to address? I'm not a big fan of
these kitchen sink directories everybody and their dog gets to dump
stuff into. Especially in “/etc” since it's kind of hard for a package
to remove stuff from there again.

Ungh... Don't do it like this! Just use globbing to create a list of
files. The idea about "null_glob" is sound in itself (even though in zsh
solvable differently, using the "N" glob qualifier). But since you do
this test in the loop:

you don't need null_glob at all. Thus, I'd do this:
for i in /etc/zsh/zshrc.d/*.zsh; do
# I'm quoting the parameter, because someone might have
# set the SH_WORD_SPLIT option in, say "~/.zshenv".
if [ -r "$i" ]; then
source "$i"
fi
done
