I think this generally suggested to use StatefulSet instead of Deployment when persistent storage is involved, and not just because DOKS own specific needs, but it's where I have kellnr & their clusterlint reported it:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/support/clusterlint-error-fixes/#dobs-pod-owner
that being said I haven't run into issues yet so think it still resolves itself eventually after upgrades etc. so probably not a major issue.
