Comment (by ibenic):

 The WP_DEBUG should be enough if you ask me for local development. If
 someone uploads a new template through FTP, let's say, their live/staging
 site with a disabled WP_DEBUG, the page templates won't be refreshed.

 Maybe we could also add a button that could delete the cache on request.
 This button could be under Appearance > Themes on the active theme block.
 Something like this: [[Image(https://imgur.com/Xwh3Qyo)]] ? But that could
 be a little too intrusive to regular users? Not sure.

 WP_DEBUG + version change might be just enough for developers.
