> You can probably pre-compile it into some kind of AST-like-thing, so that it can be more easily monomorphized, but I'm not sure I would characterize that as "separate compilation" anymore.

Rust has been doing that since about 2016, except that they can actually lower the code all the way down to a CFG before monomorphizing it. https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/mir/optimizations.html
