Here's a question that I suspect may be relevant: Can you generate
code with TH that isn't well-typed?

If your first thought is something like "of course, how would you type
check the code before generating it?", I would ask how that differs
from "of course programs can crash, how can you check all inputs
before reading them at run time?".

Bonus question for any OCaml folks: What's the difference between
using Camlp4 and using MetaOCaml?
