No, I wouldn't, and it is also irrelevant for domestic/intra-Schengen flight, do GA of other airlines know them all? for ex-Schengen flights document check will normally be done via API information, and if needed then a document check will be done either at the check-in counter (if checking in bags) or at the gate (if not)

I can get that, however Ryanair also fly to non-EU destinations, and while EU passport holders might not require a visa to those destinations, who to say they haven't been denied entry before and therefor have a stamp in their passport to indicate that?

Clearly, this is not correct, since they do not check the immigration status of EU pax to enter non-EU destinations, and yes I do think it is an overkill
