Moreover, these warnings are probably harmless if your MIDI sounds
well, as more than one voice could perfectly sound on a shared channel
among other one, in modern MIDI players (provided that you want the
same sound type on both of them)

If you hear some strange drum sounds, this is because your media
player has a dedicated channel for this, usually #10 or #16.

In this case I don't know what to do from the LilyPond side, except to
use fewer than 10 channels/voices.
