Presumably it's not valid if we don't at least have the classical theorem
that every pointwise uniformity comes from a family of psuedometrics.
The proof that I know of this relies on dependent choice,
as well as forming infima of inhabited sets of nonnegative real numbers.
These infima are constructively valid if we allow our pseudometrics
to take values in the upper real numbers instead of only the real numbers.
I don't know what to do about the dependent choice, however.
