It was silly of me to say that the warning can be ignored given that
my own testing showed that nothing was done...

Which man page? Since you're using update-rc.d, of course you can
assign a start number higher than 21 with update-rc.d if a service
depends on a service that insserv has numbered 21. My point was more
"how do you know the highest start number that insserv has assigned to
a service that service that you're editing depends upon?"

The level number isn't needed.
