No, C++ never cracks open a curly-braced body to "inspect" it like that
(because, in general, the Halting Problem).
Fortunately for you, C++20 already supports conditionally trivial special
member functions — you've even used that feature in your Godbolt already!

    ~unaligned() requires std::is_trivially_destructible<T> = default;
    ~unaligned() { alignas(T) std::byte ~~~~ tmp.~T(); }

The constrained destructor will be preferred by overload resolution when
[that is, for types for which] its constraint is satisfied.
The key term for which to Ctrl+F the standard is "*eligible* destructor."
