There are some nice use cases for this:

bare
metal programming: The CTFE only function can depend on
druntime
functions not available in the bare metal runtime.
These are common problems when using string mixins: The
functions
to generate the mixed in code use string manipulation which is
usually
not @nogc and might require runtime functions. But the code
generation
function is exclusively used in CTFE.
I do not see how this could affect @nogc.
But yes you can circumvent the code-generation and pulling in the
druntime dependency using a static if.
