Comment:

 As noted in #28319:
 > I think my bigger concern here is that WP_Error objects are not
 exceptions — rarely are they "exceptional." Often, they are used as return
 values for functions that meet some kind of error condition, but that
 doesn't mean every usage meets the level of a deprecated function,
 notices, or PHP errors (see also: https://wordpress.org/plugins/log-
 deprecated-notices/, https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar/).
 > This is basically the equivalent of logging every time a function
 returns false.

 I think there are better things we can do here. I'm writing something up
 this week.
