Your debug log shows your warning as:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Pi-hole diagnosis messages
   id    timestamp            type                  message
   ----  -------------------  --------------------  -----------------------------------------------

   3     2022-04-14 05:58:25  DNSMASQ_WARN          ignoring nameserver 127.0.0.1 - local interface

The warning links to our documentation which reads:

At least one server directive is redundant and point to the dnsmasq instance itself. The server is ignored.

This is caused by your configuration of the loopback address as Pi-hole's upstream:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Setup variables
    PIHOLE_DNS_1=1.1.1.1
    PIHOLE_DNS_2=1.0.0.1
    PIHOLE_DNS_3=127.0.0.1

It doesn't cause any harms, but you still should remove that 127.0.0.1 from your Pi-hole's upstream servers at Settings | DNS.
