Just don't let any true believers near it or they'll tear you a new one. I've published plenty of Go code with a panic() here or there to handle fatal issues, and there's never a shortage of ignorant fools dropping in to lecture me. If I'm not supposed to use it, why is it even in there? To tempt me? That would fit with the glorification of pain and boredom, I guess.
