The original legacy Gerbil has a different firmware from GRBL and Arduino based processors so the Grbl1.1e is just a marker I used to get the legacy board recognized within G-code senders. So it has all the required laser functions in it (M4 and avoid burned corners) and you have nothing to worry about.
You can burn a standard GRBL1.1f firmware but you loose the 16bits PWM functionality and USB port, so it is not recommended to do so. The legacy Gerbil board has a 328PB processor which has additional timers and ports that I used in my firmware. So I would not worry about the messages in LightBurn since it all works well, it's not supported properly in LB because I was ahead of GRBL at that time.
