This is not a new problem. The Elisp source code in the Emacs trunk
currently has many non-ASCII characters. Although most of these are
in the modules that deal with international characters, there are many
instances in otherwise-ordinary code, for example, the identifier
color-cie-ε in lisp/color.el, and the message containing the string
"the ‘+’ in this last example" in lisp/org/org-bibtex.el.
Despite the above, one can get lots of useful work done in an ASCII-only
environment when editing the Emacs source code. This would continue
to be true even if Emacs used directed quotes in the source code more often.

Yes, that's the default behavior if one is using the C locale. These
days, though, it's typically nicer to use a locale like en_US.utf8
when developing Emacs code. This works across an SSH link on a Linux
terminal -- I just now tried it, and the above non-ASCII examples worked
fine. Although ASCII-only environments still exist, they're becoming
less important for Emacs development.
