First of all ramoops was born mainly for debug purpose and to help the
maintainability of a product. I used it in systems where the uptime (so
no reboot) was important. So it can be very useful for me load the
module, gather logs and unload it for example. A kernel panic is not
recoverable so the reboot is needed but it's not always true for a
kernel oops.
