  Well, one idea does com to mind. But it would be a **lot** of work!
  The concept in Plasma is iirc still "strong by default, powerful when needed". Or something along those lines.
  
  With that in mind, it could be an option to disable this by default and introduce a new tab in the dolphin settings page where you list the power features and allow the user to enable them all (or one by one).
  It is a lot more code logic and does fall into the micro settings category (a place you normally don't want to be) but would be a possible solution in this case.
  
  Not saying this is the right direction. Merely one idea.
  
  Another idea is to warn the user but with a checkbox: "Don't show this warning again".
