The suggestions to wrap `kill-matching-buffers' with `cl-letf' or `flet'
are overkill - misguided, IMHO.
You are defining _your own_ command. Just define it directly. The code to
do that is trivial. For one thing, you can just copy the existing code of
`kill-matching-buffers' and substitute `kill-buffer' for `kill-buffer-ask'.
I don't think that Emacs needs either (1) a new, non-confirming command for
this or (2) a variable to inhibit confirmation by `kill-matching-buffers'.
I don't even think that Emacs needs commands `kill-matching-buffers' and
`kill-some-buffers' at all, for that matter.

[What Emacs should offer instead is a way for `C-x k' to act (by hitting
a key) on *each* completion of your input. And ways to match buffer names
better, possibly choosing how on the fly: substring, regexp, fuzzy.
And a way to progressively narrow the set of matches. And a way to act on
specific matches but not all. And a way to act on non-matches. And a way
to filter buffer-name matches to keep or remove those for modified buffers.
(In Icicles, you use `C-x k', type a regexp, complete, and hit `C-!'
to kill all of the matches. To filter out the modified buffers, just
use `C-x * -' before hitting `C-!'. So that's `C-x k TAB C-x * -'.
And you can use `C-M-down' to see info about each buffer, including
whether it is modified. And the same keys work for other commands
that use buffer-name completion, e.g., `C-x 4 b'.)]
