wdyt of using ApiUsageLogger instead? (though I'm ok with this PR since it only affects opentracing-shim)

ApiUsageLogger logs messages with an AssertionError, which would be pretty noisy and hard miss, especially if logged at the warning level as proposed in this PR.

I'm not opposed to it since I think that anytime one of these things occurs it indicates that some instrumentation is misusing the API, but just wanted to call it out.

ah, I didn't even see that ApiUsageLogger takes an optional level, it doesn't look like we ever use that method and only ever use the default (FINEST)
