This assert, introduced in WT-17905, has exposed issues with how we encode tombstones, resulting in BF-44719 and BF-44591.
The long term fix is to complete WT-18057 and WT-17933.
For now, remove the assert to enable mitigation of the BFs. While the assert is correct and points at a real issue, broken-encoded entries "work by accident" in Mongo because of the way Mongo decodes BSON.
