No, it's not a prohibition for Part 91 flights.
"91.175f: Civil airport takeoff minimums. This paragraph applies to
persons operating an aircraft under part 121, 125, 129, or 135 of this
chapter.
(1) Unless otherwise authorized by the FAA, no pilot may takeoff from
a civil airport under IFR unless the weather conditions at time of
takeoff are at or above the weather minimums for IFR takeoff
prescribed for that airport under part 97 of this chapter."

Would a weather minimum exemption (ceiling and visibility) also exempt
the requirement to use a DP/ODP if assigned to that runway?
