For this option to not hurt my work, it would have to

for me to remember if I had enabled this setting for
an object in one of my own scores several months after
dealing with it. But for working on scores made by
other people it would be a real problem. If the option
was made available, I'd really hope that they'd also
give us a command that could help us find each of
these objects. It's one thing for a part to have
something visible on it that shouldn't be there - this
I have a good shot of spotting and correcting. It's
another thing if it's something that's missing.
Seriously, this sounds to me like "I don't need a raincoat, or I might
go into the rain and get my hair wet".
The problem you are describing is even true now, if someone else
prepared the document, you will probably have this dilemma anyway.
Seriously though, there's a great amount of time to be
saved by creating the linked parts at the time the
score is initially created. We can begin our part
editing while we're working on the score. There are
many occasions that we can now move an object only
once because of this rather than the multiple times we
used to.
This might work with your workflow, it certainly won't work for me. A
good example is the project I am currently working on. At the time of
note entry it wasn't even clear what parts we are going to have. Is the
Bassoon part going to be separate? Are we going to have both oboes on
one stave? One or two flutes? Two violas in one part, or separate?
Creating the parts when setting up the score would be a serious
limitation, and cause a lot of extra work later on.
Perhaps something that would benefit you would be to
have a unique color for items which are unlinked in
some parts but not all parts.
Sure, I am all for it. But it is more important to have score-only items
in the first place, than to worry about the coloring. At least imo.
