Query processor could not produce a query plan because of the hints defined in this query

as I have seen on this answer when I add option(recompile) to my query it runs fine accepting the index hint:

SELECT   MAX(AC1.changeDate)   
         -- AC1.changeDate
          FROM [dbo].[applicationStateChange]  AS ac1  WITH(INDEX(FI_ASC_ChangeDate))  
          WHERE AC1.newStatus = 'PLC'  
OPTION (RECOMPILE)

Still when I run the same query without the option(recompile) I get the same error

Msg 8622, Level 16, State 1, Line 479 Query processor could not produce a query plan because of the hints defined in this query. Resubmit the query without specifying any hints and without using SET FORCEPLAN.

On my test environment however, I could afford running the following operation and after that no more problems with this filtered index:

ALTER DATABASE [JUNOCORE] SET PARAMETERIZATION SIMPLE;

to corroborate to my decision to do this in test I read the following articles:

SQL Server Simple and Forced Parameterization

Blitz Result: Forced Parameterization

Now I feel like changing my [JUNOCORE] database in LIVE also to simple parameterization

This then brings me to the following question:

what elements of the workload or query plan cache I should have a look to decide Simple or Forced Parameterization in my databases?
