What's a use case for a node without a mempool?

You still have the whole Blockchain and utxo set, and can send transactions out of it probably. If you only need to know what's in the blockchain proper, you don't necessarily need to relay transactions.

Why can't you relay tx's without a mempool? Just don't store them

Fair point.

One thing I thought that you might miss is fee estimation, but you can get that from a third party or estimate from the last few blocks.
