Isn't FiraCode without the ligatures just FiraMono?

There are some notable improvements, most visibly the slash in 0.

From https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

“Fira Code is not only about ligatures. Some fine-tuning is done for punctuation and frequent letter pairs.” Note that without ligature support, a lot of that fine tuning is lost.
