I'm not sure how practical/ user friendly this would be, but would an F-Curve "Degrees-to-Radians" modifier be a possible solution? That way the artist can still think in terms of degrees, and Blender could still be using radians everywhere internally.

This complicates things more, if you are writing drivers you're
already entering into a technical area. and if you start with degrees
then want to use math func's - or one person on a team uses degrees,
another radians... its unnecessarily adding incompatibilities.

Drivers docs now have a troubleshooting section.
