I've written this piece of code a fair number of times:

static if (is(typeof(foo()))) { foo(); }
else { bar(); }

When the expression inside the condition (i.e. the call to foo()) gets
complicated, you get lots of code duplication and things become harder
to read.

IMHO the only problem is the is(typeof()) syntax.
Otherwise I don't see how this has any more code duplication than:

if( foo(lots_of_parameters) )
    foo(lots_of_parameters);
else bar();
