Wouldn't that lead exactly to the same race condition prone crap C++ is doing
when it comes to initialization of static variables inside functions?

Just say no.

Immutable data (or de-facto immutable data only accessible through const) is
another story, though.

It's not that easy. The AA has to be allocated in the heap (to deal with later
write accesses to the AA). How can CTFE allocate heap memory at the program's
runtime? Obviously this doesn't work.
