nRF5 SDK is not maintained anymore

Can I use zephyr on the Bluetooth core and not use an RTOS for the application core?

Is it possible using the nRF5340 to run the Bluetooth core using zephyr and the application core without an RTOS? I want to use this for a medical application and want to try to avoid needing to validate zephyr. I think a lot of the example code uses zephyr which is why it may save dev time to use it.

    It is technically possible, yes, but we don't have any examples for it unfortunately. 

    If you run the entire Bluetooth stack in the network core you should be able to run that as a normal Zephyr application, and set up some application specific interface between the two cores that you can call from the application core (which would then be ble to run bare metal, or using some other RTOS).
