First what comes to my mind. Perhaps more, but somebody else may
extend / correct below.

ifdeffery (pros):
- compiler doesn't need even to look at that code

ifdeffery (cons):
- if depends on configuration and thus harder to test coverage

__maybe_unused (pros):
- removes ugly ifdeffery in the code, increases readability

__maybe_unused (cons):
- it's a burden for compiler (increasing compilation time) and to
linker (to drop the section)
