We use them all the time here in commercial and public right-of-way plantings. They can tolerate gawd awful conditions and take a long time to get very large. The perfect tree for many applications, never mind how cool they are. I still have not even noticed any problems with root disturbance and ginkgos. I have had large excavations immediately adjacent to them and still have not seen any ill effects from it. Maybe I'll go for a drive and double check that statement. The only ginkgo I had to remove lost a fight with a backhoe. Poor little guy. I bet he would have made it anyways.
