Couldn't you create some TypeInfo's with stubbed-out methods?
Not quite, see Iain's post, it is half and half. The compiler checks the runtime definition to ensure it is there and the correct size, so you can sorta stub it (my minimal.zip did a void*[16]) but it still takes some care. And the compiler outputs the data anyway, so you might as well define it correctly and actually use it.
