I would suggest continuing to explore alternatives.

Chrome's experiments with this show that, to users, it does not appear to
be less disruptive or confusing, even if 'logically' it should be.

We (Chrome) did this with SHA-1 deprecation *well in advance* of removing
support, to give the industry the time it agreed it needed, and took ample
hit from those who'd agreed to the timeline (any sort of communication is
seen as advancing the timeline) and from users (who found it confusing and
not actionable by the user).

In short, if there isn't something directly and immediately that a user
can do, it doesn't help. And "send an email to your administrator"
unfortunately doesn't meet that criteria for empowerment.
