Comment (by pavelevap):

 Ah, I see, but this issue should not be wontfix, because it is really
 annoying... What about loading this panel everytime and show some kind of
 message (Your theme does not register any widget area) when there are no
 widget areas? Users should know, that they can work with Widgets in
 Customizer (Widget admin page is also not hidden) even if their theme does
 not support them. And it is a long time I saw theme without widget areas,
 so it seems better to show panel without delay to 99 % of users and 1 %
 will see that there are no widget areas when they click Widgets panel.
