It improves the resulting TAP stream, if not the test itself.
But maybe it’s not necessary to impose this stricture by default,
and instead of asking to be allowed to supply a plan later, as I
proposed, people should instead have to ask for the stricture:
# works:
use Test::More;
pass();
plan tests => 2;
pass();
# throws error:
use Test::More 'ensure_plan_first';
pass();
plan tests => 2;
pass();

plan 'until_completion';
# ...
plan 'completed';
