Why not? Your change only changes whether `externally_initialized` is applied to the variable during device-side compilation. It does not change what happens on the host side. 
AFAICT, it will still be generated on the host side and the host side should still be able to take its address.
NVCC also allows that: https://godbolt.org/z/t78RvM
