You need to put at the top

(eval-when-compile (require 'subr-x))

Otherwise the if-let* macro isn't loaded so it gets interpreted as a
normal function call. It works when you use C-x C-e just because you
happened to load subr-x already. If you carefully start from 'emacs
-Q' you should be able to get the same error that way too.
