In my opinion warning should be "Denied - port/interface in use"
This should be core feature. General idea should also be expanded to virtual or LAG interfaces that have physical ports as parent.

This is satisfied by FR #13690 (implemented in NetBox v3.7), which lists all dependent objects to be deleted.

@dejantep you're welcome to submit your own FR including a detailed implementation proposal and justifying your use case.
