That will catch some mistakes of that kind, but not all --
it won't catch 'yield foo()' where foo() returns None.

One way to fix that would be to require yielding some
unique sentinel value. If the yields are all hidden inside
primitives called with 'yield from', that could be kept
an implementation detail.
