"unavoidable warnings are less useful than no warnings at all" -
so as a temporary measure, this makes sense.  Longterm, one could
see whether a "platform_daemon()" call makes sense...  

(From how I read the posix_spawn(3) manpage, it latter is more intended 
to replace fork()/exec() combos... not sure how that would help with
daemonizing [controlling tty and that]... daemon(3) suggests that Apple 
does not want people to start daemons by hand at all, using launchd(8)
instead...  and I agree that *that* would need a totally different
approach to "start openvpn")

Tested on Mojave: fixes the warnings in init.c and down-root.c.

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
