We can do this - I do not see any code in the wild using the optional
arguments. However, we should do it carefully - (1) Move the function to
org-compat and mark obsolete, recommending a new function instead; (2)
Create a new function with a new name (say,
org-timestamp-get-warning-days) and without ZERO-OR-DELAY argument and
use it across Org mode.

May you also rename this variable to be more clear. Something like,
max-warning-days? These short variable names make the code very
difficult to read.

warning-days

max-deadline-warning-days
