This discussion makes me worried that if-feature dependencies may not function properly in ASDF. AFAIK ASDF still relies only on the file system to determine whether a file needs recompilation. But changing feature values are not, in general, visible in the file system. So I believe that use of :if-feature could cause ASDF to fail to recompile files when it should.
See this issue: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/-/issues/117
If anyone has time to check my work on this, I would be grateful.
We may need to project feature state into the filesystem in order to fix this problem.
