No, I'd not expect that option to panic systems. That's why I
suggested:
diff --git a/fs/xfs/Kconfig b/fs/xfs/Kconfig
index 29228f5..b7ac847 100644
--- a/fs/xfs/Kconfig
+++ b/fs/xfs/Kconfig

Note that the resulting code will be HUGE and SLOW, and probably
not useful unless you are debugging a particular problem.

Say N unless you are an XFS developer, or you play one on TV.
If you really want a better warning it should simply be:
Choosing Y will make XFS panic on survivable events.
I understand you may have a concern that "normal users" will select
the debug option by mistake, but I don't think that is realistic.
My experience is they will not build custom debug kernels even if
you beg them to. They will only use the distro build and a
distro should never turn this option on outside their own labs.
Any non-xfs kernel developer who turns this on and gets
snake bit will only do it once.
