No warnings unless I feel that the HBP was intentional, and if I judge that, I'm ejecting, not warning. I'm not warning someone because a pitch got away from them. That's just baseball.

When you warn the pitchers, they can no longer effectively pitch inside, which hamstrings the pitchers into laying the ball over the plate. It also paints you into a corner in that the next batter hit you have to eject the pitcher and manager, even if it was accidental.
