This is not really an option for Emacs, because the info and elc files
are pre-built in release tarfiles. So people don't even need to have
makeinfo installed to build Emacs. So you cannot generate parts of the
*.texi files at build time. This is why eg doc/emacs/emacsver.texi is
not generated by configure.

It depends which version of makeinfo they first appeared in. @TeX and
@LaTeX are used already elsewhere in Emacs, so are OK. I've never heard
of @BibTeX, and it is not in the texinfo 4.13 manual on my current
machine. Configure currently tests for makeinfo >= 4.7.
