I agree with what you stated yet I think those could easily be employed as a dungeon gimmick.
The fog, for example, could be intentionaly used to hamper the exploration by offering a limited vision of the place and the gimmick could be igniting torches to light up the area for a limited time.
Non-walkable tiles can be used to make a man-made labyrinth. Let's say the dungeon is an abandoned warehouse and the played is forced to navigate a maze made entire of discarted goods and assorted junk.
Of course, problem is still when those desings are used solely to provide atmophere and nothing more.
