In a closed community with highly sensitive content, everyone wants guaranteed zero emails starting from registration. Is this possible in Discourse?

I guess we can turn emails off entirely system wide, but what about new user registrations? Now that you even support passkeys, could you make a fully functional no-emails Discourse possible?
