No, I think a panic _should_ occur, even if there was a correctable 
error. Not "when there's no other option left".
Maybe make it optional via a kernel option.
There are much less-significant problems that can cause a panic.

Sure, you may be one of the few people out there who knows how to 
correctly run a _BSD_ system...
There's few of yous out there, ;)
