Comment (by BearlyDoug):

 I also was receiving this... I thought it was tied to the WP Astra theme
 (https://wpastra.com/), since I'm not getting it on sites not running the
 WP Astra Theme and WP Astra Pro plugin.

 The first result I found for this is located
 [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ftp_nlist-warnings/ HERE]

 I added
 {{{
 if (!defined('FS_METHOD')) define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
 }}}
 to my wp-config.php file, and now the error messages actually have
 stopped.

 This issue didn't show up until WordPress 5.3 was released, and is KILLING
 my Apache log files.
