I do usually think of labeling for darker content or kinks or character death as a warning since some people are triggered negatively by these things.
Warnings = a guide, in the vein of: "Hey, if noncon bothers you, you might want to skip this one", just like "if you suffer from heart problems, Viagra might not be for you".
If headings are standardised in a comm or for an awards submission, the term "warnings" will probably stay in general use, but I don't have a problem with using "genre" instead - or something else.
