Thanks for that info guys!

It got it working after setting org-export-allow-bind-keywords to t BUT now
I need to set the buffer local value twice: (1) Using the Local Variables
footer style so that that local value is effective when before-save-hook is
run (2) Using #+BIND so that that value is effective when
 org-export-before-processing-hook is run.

Below is the MWE now:

=====
| N |
|---|
|   |
|   |
|   |
|   |
#+TBLFM: $1=@#-1

#+BIND: modi/org-table-enable-buffer-wide-recalculation nil
# Local Variables:
# modi/org-table-enable-buffer-wide-recalculation: nil
# End:
=====
