My original suggestion was just to declare it obsolete (and, as
a consequence, to stop using it in our own files).  So I just pushed that.

We can additionally change bytecomp to simply ignore the variable,
indeed, that's fine by me, but I think we can wait a bit before doing
that (even until Emacs-28, if you ask me).

Yes, of course.  Note that when compiling the file, any unknown
fie-local specifications are simply ignored, so if/when we remove the

    (put 'byte-compile-dynamic 'safe-local-variable 'booleanp)
    
it will not cause an error, but it will just prompt the user whether to
obey this "risky" setting instead of accepting it silently.
