I just bought a house and all of our baseboards are stained 1x4s. I was thinking of planing them all down and then painting them since sanding all of them would take ages. Do you think it would be worth it? Are there any adverse effects by planing wood stain off instead of sanding it?

Only thing I can think of is that it will make your trim slightly thinner. I say go for it!

If you want to perform the impossible, then try using a 4 inch dust collector to get more than 10% of the shavings.😢😢😢

Dust removal is so important.
