Did you ever notice how romex has the bare wire wrapped in brown
paper? Guess what, that is in your breaker box.....

I don't know anything about the Romex paper. There are chemical
treatments to add substantial fire-resistive properties to paper.
Maybe they added some chemicals, and maybe it's just a brown paper bag
reincarnated. Better safe than sorry. I'd go with the vinyl labels or
the Romex sheathing tags.
