We don't have a way to make a generalised variable obsolete, I think?  I
think it would be helpful if we had.

I haven't looked at how to implement it, but marking the symbol in some
way, and then having the byte compiler examine it (when expanding setf
forms) and outputting a warning doesn't immediately seem impossible.

It was very simple.  Now added to Emacs 29.
