Are class/struct/function/etc templates going to be stored in the
templates field? Then you'd have to tag each template with a type,
e.g. "class template" vs "function template" to be able to filter them
out.

Otherwise classes/functions/etc could have an optional
"TemplateTypeInfo[] typeParams" field so you could filter out
templated from non-templated types by checking their typeParams field,
e.g.: auto tempClasses = filter!(a => !empty(a.typeParams)
)(modinfo.classes);

I use a similar structure to what you've defined for my code generator
and it worked out nicely for me.
