Yes, we lost our data last year to this bug, and it wasn't a test cluster.
We still hear from it from our clients to this day.

Is known that this feature is causing data loss and there is no evidence or
no warning in official docs.

I was (I believe) the first one to run into the bug, it happens and I knew it
was a risk when installing gluster.
But since then I didn't see any warnings anywhere except here, I agree
with you that it should be mentionned in big bold letters on the site.

Might even be worth adding a warning directly on the cli when trying to
add bricks if sharding is enabled, to make sure no-one will destroy a
whole cluster for a known bug.

I absolutely agree - or, just disable the ability to add-brick with sharding enabled. Losing data should never be allowed.
