Replace the SFINAE check with static_assert [13.1.x]

[fwyzard]

PR description:

Works around a rare bug in nvcc/gcc that causes a function-static variable to be emitted as a local symbol instead of a unique global symbol.

PR validation:

Adding these changes on top of a setup that is failing as described in #42414 prevents the crash at the end of the job.

PR backports:

Backport of #42425 to 13.1.x to fix Alpaka-related developments and workflows.
