This irritating warning is there on nearly any host since I know Joomla. I never had any problems with ignoring it and that's the answer in forums since years: "Ignore this message".
- It shouldn't be a warning but an info if we really need it in Joomla any longer.
- The description should start with "Only if you're having issues ... then ..." to make clear that thinking about the "problem" is a waste of time ;-)
- The php.ini part should be removed/replaced ("ask you host") because only some hosts provide a php.ini in customer accounts.
- It should explicitely say that it's not talking about the Joomla
logtemp path.
BTW: The warning can be found at several places in Joomla.
Can't confirm "Actual result". But agree with the informations / proposals from @ReLater.

@Mansaylon What is your PHP version? It might be that you had posted it in the other issue. But could you post here again, too? Thanks in advance.
7.4.5
or
7.3.17
Testet with both.
But found that the same warning is also with Joomla 3.9.x. And I can still do installations.
This warning is irritating if everything still works.
With Joomla 4 I could not test any installations because there are no components, templates, plugins.

Nothing has changed with J4. You'll see exactely the same maessage in the same server environment.

Agree.
From the Joomla! dashboard, I have no PHP error warnings.
The PHP Version Check plugin is enabled.
I have not done any code checks for the expected result.

Got an answer from the hoster. They have tested everything and say that this warning can be ignored. Everything works.

@Mansaylon Thanks for reporting back.
Is there maybe some open_basedir restriction in your php.ini limiting access to the temp folder, e.g., because it is same folder for both installations, and for one of them it is within the open_basedir allowed paths, and for the other not?
