No, I mean to set auto-coding-list so that .el files get read as utf-8.

I don't think so: if the file doesn't have a `coding:' cookie but has
significant non-ASCII chars in it, we usually sooner or later get bug
reports about it (because someone loaded the file in an locale where
the encoding ended up not recognized correctly).
So I suspect the main breakage will be in personal files (typically the
.emacs file) rather than in packages.
