Without CD you would probably lose remote access to the subscription features (e.g heated seats or steering wheel (If not buying lifetime subscription - probably not needed in Oman anyway lol), safety camera subscription, map updates) and may need to physically go into a BMW service centre to get them activated and updated I'm guessing. You'd likely lose the ability to do a remote start via app without ConnectDrive also.
As for the Digital Key, the process requires the MyBMW app but I'm unsure if that then requires CD or if it communicates locally via Bluetooth or NFC to setup as you need to be in the vehicle for it. You may be fine to setup a Digital Key without CD but I am not sure and hopefully someone else could advise.

I lived in a country that doesn't support Connected Drive and the app wasn't available. I just noticed some weeks ago that the app was available. After downloading the app, and create a BMW ID, try to connect the app with the car. The app try to do it online and after putting the VIN it says that it's not compatible and try to connect via BT/USB.
I tried both and it doesn't do anything, just a message that it was successfully connected. I used to have a Volvo without mobile services and the app allowed me to connect to the car via BT for doing lot of staff.
Next time I would ask the dealer if they connect the BMW ID to the car.
