Not really. My understanding of the opinion (which I don't share, FWIW, and you probably know this) is that the null dereference should not be deleted, and it should be marked as an undeleteable trap similar to what an out-of-bounds access might be in Rust. That is, not unreachable in the sense of "code can never reach here", but unreachable in the sense that if it is hit then no other code executes.
