We(sssd) do not use it by default for few reasons.
It need to be expilicitely disabled if you want to see failures
in CI/mock build. Otherwise, it's imposible to check whether
compilation/linking had correct flags on different distributions
fedora/rhel/debian/opensuse and troubleshooting is much harder.

This is a reason why we prefer to explicitely enable it at configure
time or at build time
  ./configure --enable-silent-rules
or at build time
  make V=0 (make V=1)

Both versions are independent.

But I agree that thos posibility is very usefull for development.
IMHO, it might be better not to use "yes" as a default
m4_ifdef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [AM_SILENT_RULES])

BTW. I can already see silent-rules in configure help.
[root@7380c2d8ecf1 ds]# ./configure --help | grep silent
  -q, --quiet, --silent   do not print `checking ...' messages
  --enable-silent-rules   less verbose build output (undo: "make V=1")
  --disable-silent-rules  verbose build output (undo: "make V=0")
