The largest one I am familiar with (and I'm sure there are many more) is this: many hooks in the engine used by extensions and zend_extensions can cause the "system id" to change. Whenever the system id changes, the opcache must be invalidated and rebuilt, which requires the source to be available. Adding opcode handlers, requesting cache slots, and many, many more extension points all affect this. Some of these things can probably be done differently and not affect the system id, though in some cases at a performance loss. Other things may require a new, successor API that fills an equivalent purpose but without affecting the system id.
