If a developer is hit by this while having to deal with hundreds or even thousands of warnings: how would they know when a new warning is introduced in that massive pool of warnings? That seems very dangerous in the context of kernel development.

Some warnings can hint about serious issues (e.g. dangerous casting). This can lead to bugs with very serious consequences.
