Not sure. But this reminded me of a Gilligan's Island episode were a WW2 Japanese soldier landed on the Island in a mini sub. He talked in a stereo type voice and said things like - do you think I am good Rooking. Cheers!
Quite a few of the Disney + classics now do. The ethnic stereotyping in Fantasia is obvious, particularly the centaurs - the black one is a donkey AND a boot black. Eleven of the Looney Tunes cartoons were banned altogether.
If you think Archie and George need a disclaimer, you have missed the point of the show. They were often called out for their views, which were not polically correct at the time.
Yes, Archie was very often called out, and often in the best of subtle, loving ways by Edith. And, to me, most of the time she wasn't even trying to call him out - - she was just being a truly loving human being who loved people. God, I love Edith. She remains one of my two favorite fictional characters. And, to me, she was perfectly played by Jean Stapleton. :)

Do you think Gilligan's Island needs a disclaimer? I do not think any of them need it. People can watch what they want...if the show says/does something they do not like....change the channel.
Perhaps the disclaimer simply is advising the viewer that whoever is airing the program does not necessarily agree with how certain things are portrayed or that the viewer may not want to watch. We have content warnings for violence, drug use, language, nudity, etc. This provides a choice to the viewer prior to watching. I can't imagine why you object to the disclaimer. There is so much content out there, it must be helpful for parents of young children to be able to choose what values they want their kids to learn from TV and movies.
If Gilligand's Island needs one.....the Archie and George certainly need one. Even if they are "called out" in the show...the "outdated language" is still there, and the "cultural stereotypes" are still there.
