Indeed, if you build your kernel with buildroot.

What would the advantage of this be? This is not how udev is normally
used nowadays (devtmpfs was explicitly made to fix various issues with
the initial static /dev and handover to udev) on PCs.

Compared to udev, devtmpfs is very lightweight. I would recommend pure
devtmpfs (no mdev/udev) to people using static /dev today.
