@Jack steel strings will be fine. You should expect some wear on your frets over the years and they can be redressed by a luthier.
Bottom line is; do they sound good to you? If so, play on!
@patrikmarky find one and play it. Be patient, necks can vary but you already know how good Warwicks are. There will be one out there for you. Good hunting!

On YouTube. Go watch it.
Michael Burnett playing a Stingray that sounds amazing. What a player. What a singer. What a band! Eyes right!
@bubinga5 good points. Funk is feel thing.
Funk is a radio and we all choose to tune in to our favourite stations. For me it’s the heavier, more psychedelic sounds of P-Funk and Prince. Respect to James Brown and Earth Wind and Fire but I’ll never listen to them.
Warwick (4 string) is my favourite, especially the older ones with the more rounded edges. An old Fender headstock feels like home, love them too. Always liked the Tobias headstocks (anybody got a picture?). And the Jaydee on here is just so classy.
