Comment (by andrewhoyer):
There are some good points here, both for and against. I hesitate to
suggest adding more functionality to core, but at the same time, the
current built-in notice is too muted and other plugin notices are easily
dismissed.
Based on this ticket, and feedback and discussion in a couple of threads
on 𝕏, I decided to implement what I think is a balanced solution in a
plugin: A small but obvious warning that never goes away and cannot be
dismissed or hidden, but also doesn't take up any new screen space. Having
it be a plugin means only those who really want or need it can take the
steps to use it.

I do not want to distract from the topic at hand here, so if you want to
discuss the plugin or other ideas relating to it, please find my contact
info through my profile here, or on 𝕏 at the same username.
Otherwise, I'd love to hear any further comments as to whether or not the
current warning in WordPress core could be made a little more lively,
maybe towards something like what I've done.
