Can remove warnings, use wpa_supplicant@ with dhclient@ and disable 
networkd. Will produce
workable, but has side effect:
networkd with complaints takes under a second, dhcp handling interface 
takes 7-14 seconds.
Personally I like the milliseconds, so hope networkd destructive warning 
is a "FIXME" complaint
and nothing harmful, and its not liking the kernel naming is just a 
reminder also.
Sorry to bother list, I guess I found resolution. Mark Closed.
