You do not have to. If you wish, you can disable the warning by clicking
on Disable showing or Disable logging.

However, the warning indicates a problem with Org parser cache. Org
recovers from it, but not necessarily immediately. You may get certain
edits bugging out if the parser cache is not correct. For example,
certain edits may "lose" first star of a heading behind. That's why we
are so into the face of users with this warning you are seeing.

The Org version is very strange. Emacs 28 ships with Org 9.5.5 and the
latest stable version of Org available on ELPA is Org 9.6.7. The warning
comes from Org >9.6.

It appears to me that you have some problem with Org installation.

May you try to install the latest stable Org first, following
https://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html? You should get M-x
org-version printing Org 9.6.7.

Then, let us know if the warning keeps appearing.
