With the use of ESMF NUOPC mediator component coupling in CESM, the ESMF gridded component to couple the ionosphere to CAM physics is no longer needed. This was introduced by @gold2718 to enable multiple instances of WACCMX when MCT component coupling was used. MCT coupling is no longer used and the ESMF gridded component coupling in WACCMX should be removed.
