What to do about "disk not ejected properly" when M1 Mac, Big Sur sleeps?

Just setting up my new M1 Mac mini. What do I do about "disk not ejected properly" Notifications when my M1 Mac, Big Sur sleeps? Do I have to turn off my USB Hubs every time my Mac is going to sleep?

Disable Sleep, it’s unnecessary on later Macs, all pain, no gain. To disable, check “Prevent…” in Energy Preferences and uncheck everything else. You can leave the display off time as is, unrelated to Sleep. Shut for long absences i.e. > 2 hours.
