While load times and sizes are something caring developers would be very worried about, I feel giving a warning for it outside of devtools would flag a lot of false positives on any site that embedded videos of any meaningful length. And as far as annoying the user, javascript can do far more damage in a lot less bytes. And less data modes are possible iirc.
Either way, if you update your site I’d be very excited to see whatever you come up with :D

Frankly I still feel like it's a real tragedy of the commons that browsers even can do this without triggering a warning.
