I believe you've got _some_ time. As of the changes in 3.4.0 the verbiage is:

   R CMD check --as-cran now NOTEs if the package does not register 
   its native routines or does not declare its intentions on (native) 
   symbol search. (This will become a WARNING in due course.)

And I think it's still a NOTE vs a full-on WARNING (I register all mine but can 
test this later).

Rcpp makes this super simple and the 
tools::package_native_routine_registration_skeleton() is also pretty painless 
as does Kevin Ushey's souretools::register_routines() 
(https://github.com/kevinushey/sourcetools/blob/master/R/register.R).
