Thanks for the explanation I now understand the purpose of deprecation warnings and also how to control whether they are logged or ignored - thats a daunting list of changes Id need to make to prepare for J5 implementation. I havent started the upgrade process so didnt know what to expect - Ive worked on this website with Joomla for 13 years now so clearly there must be heaps of old code but to start from a clean install is daunting - its amazing how much there is still to learn and these upgrades dont seem to be getting any easierFirst you need to fix the problems that are flagged in red and orange text under Basic Environment, and Detailed Environment, and also fix those file permissions.
Do the usual checks: do all your (3rd-party) extensions work for Joomla 5? The Hosting Environment is just 1 of about a dozen things you need to consider before updating to J5. There may well be extensions (or even your front-end template) that won't work in J5.
The minimum PHP for J5 is 8.1 but recommended is 8.3

Deprecated in the programming universe basically means older code is earmarked for removal from (in this case) a newer PHP version. So extensions using this old code would trigger those deprecated errors. The code still works, but there are newer ways of doing the same thing which are recommended.
(I'm not a programmer, so this is a rudimentary explanation of my understanding of "deprecated").
