The problem with this is that WS1 will still occur. So a few seconds after the panic() call, the hardware will reset. There won't be any time to debug or log anything.

Are you sure this will work? This will set WCV to 0, which means it the WS1 reset won't happen until the timestamp counter wraps around to 0. That could be a very long time from now.
