I receive this notice in the debug log Function validate was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>. Only arrays should be returned when using the frm_validate_entry filter. Please see <a href="https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/debugging-in-wordpress/">Debugging in WordPress</a> for more information. (This message was added in version 6.3.)

I am using this filter add_filter('frm_validate_field_entry', 'check_mentoremail_update', 10, 3);

but I am returning the array 

return $errors;

Is anyone else getting this notice? Is it of any concern?

I got...nuthin' . The code looks fine to me. If it's returning an object that isn't an array it seems like it was passed in that way. I suggest going through Formidable support or putting some debug code in the Formidable PHP files to see what's happening.

I can't get formidable support to even allow the word "code" in the support request. Do you have some secret sauce on how to get a ticket submitted and a response?

Did you try rewording it, such as "PHP" instead of "code"?
