do you warn users about the telemetry? OSS users and developers in particular are pretty hostile to it, especially when it's default

Please judge for yourself in this asciinema I've just uploaded whether it's enough of a warning: https://asciinema.org/a/eWQsyXQKi1fmithyTekAD5fWS
That is a very clear and helpful message.

You may want to consider mentioning it in the README.md as well and alongside any example/default configuration you generate indicating the default state and setting to disable it, especially if it's only output the first time it writes the telemetry history.
