If the environment variable OPENSSL_CNF points to non-existing file a warning seems also being informative.

The parameters in the configuration file, in general, apply only to certificate operations. The openssl application does way more than certificate operations, and seeing a warning for a configuration file that has no impact on the operation being performed is annoying. Rather than completely remove the warning, I would instead suggest that the warning only be issued for certain commands that may use parameters from the configuration file.

If I want and expect openssl to use a config file, and it did not find it - it's darn useful for me to be informed of that fact by openssl.

Because it goes ahead and proceeds. Not it is explicit testing ENOTFOUND.
It should either error+exit or not complain.

I can be convinced the current behavior is useful.
