Actually, TT is one of the situations where equipotential bonding can work best. Where you have comparatively low earth fault currents you end up with a low voltage difference (e.g. between exposed- and extraneous-conductive-parts) - so a much reduced shock risk, even if ADS doesn't operate promptly (either by design - e.g. large or distribution circuits, or due to faulty protective device).
I'd qualify that, for an indoor TT installation - for one with lots of earthed metal outside - petrol stations, lampposts etc the situation is more like the outdoor EV charging case that gets so complicated - if there is a fault and the RCD fails to trip, the situation becomes un-avoidably dangerous. Even with the rebar grids earthed under concrete floors becoming live grids under concrete, while it may help reduce the risk of shock in a warehouse, does not really make it safer if this is outdoors. In such a case less bonding may be safer than more, in the very rare event of fault and an RCD failure.
