At least for small GA a/c, there are no legal departure weather
requirements even if there ARE specified takeoff minimums.

(Whether taking advantage of that rule is smart or safe is another
matter).

You are missing my point so let me restate it:

There are NO takeoff minima applicable to pilots operating under Part 91
(at least for small a/c) EVEN IF THEY ARE published under Part 97.

See 91.175(f) which talks about the applicability of takeoff minima.

I limit my statement to small GA a/c since I am not familiar with Subparts
F and G which deal specifically with large a/c.
