I'm not sure when exactly this was removed, but non-copy union fields aren't allowed, and there is no nightly feature to allow them AFAIK. There was various discussion in the tracking issue rust-lang/rust#55149 and various changes like rust-lang/rust#97995 on what is allowed, but I did not dig down to find the exact change that closed the door. The allowed field kinds are described in items.union.field-restrictions. Also, in general the reference shouldn't be referring to unstable features.
