Thanks - I’d seen that section before, but hadn’t noticed that elsewhere the document says “code should target C++17“. Do you know if there are any parts of the C++17 language or standard library that are disallowed in Google’s code because those parts don’t work without exceptions?

No, nothing in C++ has a hard dependency on exceptions. Custom allocators can be used to report allocation failures in some way other than throwing an exception, and other than that the standard library only uses exceptions to report precondition violations; things which are expected to sometimes fail (such as filesystem operations) can report error codes instead.
