So I’m not super confident in this, but: I don’t have a model which suggests descaling a kettle (similar to mine) will have particularly noticeable effects. If it gets sufficiently scaled it’ll self-destruct, but I expect this to be very rare. (I don’t have a model for how much scaling it takes to reach that point, it’s just that I don’t remember ever hearing a friend, family member or reddit commenter say they destroyed their kettle by not descaling.)
Scale falls off by itself, so it is not really possible to self-destruct kettle under normal circumstances. For my 30l water heater, it took more than 5l of scale to self destruct, just no way to not notice spalled scale on such scale.
