a) Why in Kconfig, why not in Makefile?

b) Of course nobody wants STABLE=n. :-)  How about:

config RELEASE
        bool "Build for release"
        help
          If the kernel is declared as a release build here, then
          various checks that are only of interest to kernel development
          will be omitted.

c) A drawback of this general option is, it's hard to tell what will be
omitted in particular.
