I agree with

a) there are valid cases wherer the documentclass of master and child differs

b) the repeated upfront warning is very annoying in these cases.

IMO, even experienced (and medium experienced) TeX users will gain from the
information *if an error occurs*.

So, instead of one more configuration setting, I propose a less annoying
warning:

  Instead of an annoying prophylactic warning, just register the fact of
  mixed document classes and report it in addition to the actual error(s)
  *if an error occurs*.
