I don't think that's really what this is. This sounds like an additional warning screen, on top of the warning screen you already get when you manually install apps from anything other than the Play Store. I expect you'll still get the same old warning screen even after you pass this screen the one time.
FYI, if you have root there is a Magisk module that gives FDroid the privilege to install apps without the popup.
