Do you know perhaps if changing the final gear will interfere with the ECU somehow, perhaps raise a flag or warnings? I don't mind not getting to 200 kmh and upward, no need for that tbh in Israel, even in the track.

FI = supercharger or turbo charger. If planning on FI at some point I wouldn’t go above a 4.56, 4th will top out at 115mph and autos stop pulling in 5th. 4.56fd dropped .4sec off 0-60 even with having to shift into 3rd to hit 60.
Idk the warranty laws in Israel. But in the states nothing voids a warranty. They have to prove the modification caused or atleast contributed to the failure to not fix that particular issue.
Also they have no way of knowing you have ever flashed your ecu, you can flash back to stock before going in for warranty work. Same with putting back on stock header or any mod really.
As for the FD swap unless the work was inside the FD specifically, that should have no effect on warranty for anything else. They would also have no way of knowing unless they drove your car and knew what speeds each gear should be.
Some other mods to consider aerodynamics and weight reduction.
Take out trunk junk -30lbs
Rear seat delete mine only dropped 25lbs but has a lot more noise reduction then before
Lightweight battery, I got the largest shorai dropped another 25lbs
And a full exhaust about 20lbs for 100lbs total
Light weight rims/wheels expensive but rotational mass + better grip/handling
Wilwood BBK -32lbs unsprung
Can get to 150lbs reduction somewhat easy without ruining DD comforts.
Aero to reduce drag
Jdm underpanels
Verus tunnel cover
Verus diff cover / diffuser
Verus front wheel deflector
Side skirts
All these add up to make a pretty big difference. Less drag/weight means you need less power to accelerate.
