files.upload method returns warning message "files.upload may cause some issues like timeouts for relatively large files." about node-slack-sdk

Hey @RyokoKassai 👋 This warning actually originates from the @slack/web-api package, so going to first move the issue!

Oops! Didn't mean to pin. My screen jumped right before clicking "Transfer issue"... But regardles, this warning is hardcoded into SDK for uses of files.upload to encourage using the files.uploadV2 method instead.

Timeout errors were fairly common when uploading larger files with files.upload so a backend change was made to expose new endpoints for uploading files and this method was created in the SDK. As I understand, there's no absolute reason for why these uploads were failing but it was most common with larger files.

The files.uploadV2 method offers much more stability by using a dedicated endpoint for each file upload and should resolve the timeout issues from files.upload. Hopefully this clears a bit up, but I'm also curious if you have any interest in sticking with files.upload?
