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

>>MarkSw+K4
if you panic and you're a kernel you very likely corrupt your filesystem, at the very least.

>>dijit+e5
While I don’t advocate for kernel panics, journaling filesystems are a thing.

Journaling FS can also become corrupted. That's why i don't use XFS (just a quick log replay after a kernel crash. Have some crashes and the FS is corrupted beyond repair.)
