I think there could still be room for static unused ret val checking for parts of std lib not covered by P0600R1, but also for boost, POSIX APIs etc.

Agreed; that's largely what I was suggesting with my previous comment. I think this should be a generic, configurable check that is prepopulated with some APIs that make sense. You can use P0600R1 as a starting point, but I'd encourage you to find a pretty decent (but still conservative) list of APIs.
