I'd word it like "users can pass this to turn on extra verification to catch compiler bugs at the cost of extra compile time"; I agree that we shouldn't be recommending it since the cost/benefit doesn't seem worth it for production toolchains. It's useful for validating a toolchain when you update the toolchain, but probably not super impactful after that.
