The compiler does warn when you discard a value, but I assume a C# notebook is something like Jupyter? It is probably a special case in that environment.

There is Comparer.Create convenience method which creates an IComparer instance from a lambda. But yeah it is a workaround.

Sounds fine to me. Unused valuable will get you some squiggle warnings in the editor, but not in a notebook.

As far as "language gotcha" articles go this is pretty weak IMO

The semicolon at the end of a statement is possibly matlab-inspired.

The C# compiler doesn't; the F# compiler does.

While not a warning by default, it does inform (IDE0058) in the editor. placing dotnet_diagnostic.IDE0058.severity = warning in your .editorconfig will promote it.
