Why can't we set lexical-binding from .dir-locals, so it would
automatically "convert" all the lisp packages in the sources (meaning,
we will soon discover the ones that break and we can protect them with
-*- lexical-binding: nil -*-).

That has the advantadge that it wouldn't impact third-party code
unless the maintainters chose to add lexical-bindings to their
.dir-locals or their files.
