Why is panicing in the kernel on an error not an option? Like kernels can write a core dump and reboot, right?

if you panic and you're a kernel you very likely corrupt your filesystem, at the very least.

While I don’t advocate for kernel panics, journaling filesystems are a thing.

Yes, but even then not all filesystems are journaled.
EFI is FAT, FAT is not journaled. You almost certainly have EFI these days.

EFI is read, but not frequently written.
