I'm blind :-/ Yes this is totally useful.

We'd also want a taint for hung tasks (separate patch, same idea), not
sure it's a good idea to use a new taint bit for all of them? Atm we
don't check for all taint bits (some of them are set because of things
our testcases do, like module reload or setting unsafe kernel options
meant for testing only, so picking one of the bits we check already
was least resistance.

The hung_tasks taint wasn't all that positively received, I feels like
this will stay a hack private to our CI. Except if someone else pipes
up who wants this, then I'm happy to polish.
