L3 Address load-balancing was introduced with the intention of being good for systems with trunks. Basically, it tries to choose a "compatible" (meaning "likely to cause trunks to be evenly loaded") pool member based on L3 connection information.

 

To avoid seeing the warnings change the load balancing method to least connections,ratio or round robin which are not deprecated
