I think that out-dated operating systems such as Microsoft's Windows, will have problems. I don't know if they have fixed this bug.

It depends on aligning logical blocks and physical sectors in new partition. If disk has 4K logical blocks that not aligned with 4K physical sectors, it can cause visible loss of performance. So fdisk just warns you not to do so.
In most cases no other problems will arise.

yes, but does it cause a loss of performance because it is a extended partition?

In an extended partition no data will stored. /dev/sda5 is aligned correctly!

@User8461, fdisk knows nothing about your plans for this partition, fdisk only warns you. If you won't store any data in extended partition it won't affect performance of your system in any way.
