Yes. We can MEL the nose wheel steering. There are significant number of procedures that have to be complied with, including mx procedures. I've never been asked to fly an aircraft with the steering inop. Maybe other captains have. But I don't believe it's common.
You can do that on any number of airliners, not really an issue for TO & LDG, but you have to plan the taxi well.
