-Wuse-after-free=3 was explicitly added to cover cases with a high
false-positive rate.  If you want to
make that the default then instead merge the equality compare case
back to the =2 case.

But as I said elsewhere I think that -Wuse-after-free is very much too
trigger happy, especially
with value-uses (not accessing released memory but inspecting the old
pointer value).  Please consider
looking at https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104075 and
review the false positives
reported.

Also see my very recent patches from today trying to limit
-Wuse-after-free by not diagnosing
from late IL.
