My init file seems to not have a problem in Emacs 27.1. I have not
investigated all of what's happening in 30.0.50, but it's probably
changes that haven't been rolled into the versions of packages I have in
~/.emacs.d/elpa yet.
The thing that bothered me was getting warnings at regular intervals
from Hyperbole, but I haven't checked why. Probably a background timer
of some sort.

The deprecation warnings are important in telling the user to keep an
eye for a new version of a package (ie. run package-update from time to
time), but should be something you can turn off after you've seen it.
