Perhaps a bit better would be 🚫, whose official name is apparently "No Entry
Sign", even though the slashed circle visual usually just means "No ____",
e.g. "No Smoking". Hence, some sources call it the Prohibited emoji.

(My ¢2: wouldn't a cross mark (❌) also work to convey the idea of
"suppressing" something?)

That would work too. I still like turning this into a toggle button where the icon shows the current state (i.e. is it an active warning - ⚠️ - or has it been suppressed - ⚬). But changing to 🚫 or ❌ would be single-character patches, which is nice too.

The new icons.el that comes with Emacs 29 would be a prime candidate for
implementing this, right?  It has the advantage of giving the user some
degree of control via icon-preference.

Yup, the icon we have today is implemented via icons.el:

  (define-icon warnings-suppress button
    '((emoji "⛔")
      (symbol " ■ ")
      (text " stop "))
    "Suppress warnings."
    :version "29.1"
    :help-echo "Click to suppress this warning type")
