Do you mean, although I am building my support module with base.dbd included, I may provide my own *_registerRecordDeviceDriver.cpp file (corrected one - comment out everything related to base.dbd) and get away with it?
I believe so, but that does add a maintenance burden that you need to be aware of whenever you upgrade. New versions of EPICS Base are very likely to require that you recreate that .cpp file again from scratch (because the C++ code generated by the registerRecordDeviceDriver.pl script can change without notice), and new versions of external modules such as Asyn will probably change the DBD file and thus need updates.
I would strongly recommend that you document what you're doing very clearly for your successors or your future self, and maybe explain exactly how to switch back to using standard EPICS builds too.
