so is the use case that I presented a valid one for usage of global

the files in /etc/rsyslog.d/ then use them in templates. It seems to me these
should be global variables (even though they are pretty much constant, i.e.
they are only initialized, never changed afdterwards). This is a somewhat
different use case than counters that other people mentioned (different from
the point of vier why we need the global variables, same from the
implementation viewpoint)
If I am understanding you correctly, absolutly.
the question is what sets these variables. If they are set and not changed by
future messages (or at least, not changed for a significant time period) then
that seems like the perfect use case for global variables.
