I tend to be mistrustful of code that tries to guess the best thing to do,
when something expected isn't found.
How about:
def cutprefix(self: str, pre: str, raise_on_no_match: bool=False, /) -> str:
if self.startswith(pre):
return self[len(pre):]
if raise_on_no_match:
raise ValueError('prefix not found')
return self[:]
