Although you are required to have RUN_SCRIPTS to push anything to workflowLibs, the code is run under the same sandbox settings as the main Pipeline scripts. In the case of a Pipeline script using whole-script approval, it makes sense to be checking RUN_SCRIPTS for libraries. But in the case of Pipeline scripts configured to use the Groovy sandbox, the workflowLibs code is also run in the sandbox—a pointless restriction, since only a trusted user could have written that code. You would expect that the library code would be trusted and run in a privileged mode, so it could safely encapsulate otherwise unsafe method calls.
