Huh?????  It can be used with stack variables, we have tests in the
testsuite where we use it with such.

placement new has no overhead, that is by design.  I literally mean
placement new does nothing except for changing the dynamic type and
calling the constructor.  Where is the overhead there?  I see unions
having more overhead than placement new as unions are not as well
optimized.
