That's weird, first because Shimano is such a careful company it's hard to believe they'd go with a pad option that can easily swapped to a genuine Shimano sintered if it was a no go. Especially if it's a fine print warning.
All I can is a concern over heat although this caliper is used with a few models of brake and as you say the non ceramic pistons are used on lots of higher end Shimano brakes.
Since it's mainly intended as an OE brake and always seem to be spec'd with Resin-Only rotors maybe it's just an afterthought?
Anyways, not something that concerns me - and larger rotors dissipate heat better if it did.
