Why inlining of a suspend function with no lambda among its params is not flagged as a warning (it is if the function is not suspend)?

Runtimes (e.g. the JVM) are able to inline regular functions by themselves when it is beneficial to do so, so inlining regular functions at compile-time is not necessary, and may make the code slower.

suspend functions are more complicated, runtimes can't inline them automatically.

However, unless you have a proper benchmark showing that inlining is beneficial in your particular case, I wouldn't do it.

Oh yeah, the continuation counts as a lambda param, didn't think of it 🙂
