I don't know, need to check performance impact.
And in_serving_softirq() doesn't necessarily mean in napi
but looking at _kfree_skb_defer(), i think it shouldn't care if napi or
not as long as it runs in soft irq it will push the skb to that
particular cpu napi_alloc_cache, which should be fine.

Maybe instead of the WARN_ONCE just remove the budget condition and
replace it with

if (!in_serving_softirq())
      dev_consume_skb_any(skb);
