(sic) Meanwhile, the second part of that sentence that "nothing should break" by disabling it seems to hold true anyway. The system runs fine, and activating CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL in the kernel doesn't seem to have any effect apart from changing the word "removed" to "obsolete" in the above messages.
