As a non-combat player in chapter 15, I have never had to produce troops for anything other than the rare event quest. I contend that these quests are not fair to non-combat players, because they are prohibitively difficult for non-combat players.Never having to fight a combat is not the same as never needing to produce troops for a chapter quest or an event quest. It is like still needing to build and upgrade several armories to produce the little orcs that are needed for non-combat upgrades starting with chapter 8. Those armories are military buildings, but you do not have to use them for military purposes. Same with troops. You never have to use them to fight.
Troop production is not mandatory for any other part of the game. Chapter quests can be skipped and do not have a time limit, so producing units for them is not mandatory nor penalizing in the same way. Armories do not produce troops, they produce orcs, which are used regularly in catering and buildings. You don't have to participate in combat to get use out of orcs or armories. If they were troops they would count as units for these quests, which actually would work well as a secondary option for the quests.
