The closest you may ever get to something like this is a clean separation of -O flags instead of the current -O/-OO options. That way you can flip on everything *but* assertion removal. But a per-file directive I don't see happening, and even the flag separation has never caught on enough for anyone to put in the effort to get a PoC working since the only people who ask for this are people wanting permanent asserts and that leads the usual "you're doing it wrong" comments. Probably best/only way to motivate it is to open up -O in a way to allow for more optimizations, but once again that's a lot of work.
