Interesting idea.

3. Emit a warning if the generated core code still contains uses of Rep.

I think this part will be really annoying, as GHC might end up
generating warnings that the programmer can do nothing about (because
some optimization failed to remove Rep).

I think this is exactly the right idea. A compiler should emit errors about bad typing since type inference is somewhat complete, but should emit warnings about other incomplete analyses or optimizations.

If you think that this is too noisy, by all means, don't emit these warnings by default and add a flag that enables them.

my 2p,
