Thanks.

Not really.
One needs to use some common sense as a developer in evaluating user
CFLAGS - because there are plenty of flags that are safe, but aren't
listed on that page.

Several years ago, I wrote a package that was the forerunner of the
'Safe CFLAGS' page - genflags. It was close to unmaintable at the time
however, so it's suffered a lot of bit-rot. With the advent of
libcpuinfo, and x86info being written, it stands a much better chance of
giving useful output, but that still does not supersede the common sense
statement above.
