I'm not so sure.  Many of these compatability warnings are due to the fact
that the hardware components are heavily tied to the security protections of
the device.  For example, a 3rd party touch ID sensor could contain hardware
components that could compromise the security of the device, and thus it won't
be allowed to unlock the phone.  

I would imagine as the camera hardware becomes more complicated (have you seen
the camera package of a iphone 12 Pro?) Apple will not allow 3rd party
replacement components because of compatibility, security or quality issues.

These warnings are there to assure the integrity of your device and data.  Not
to prevent repair.
