I switched to pruned bitcoin node recently and got this error after trying to use my wallet.
I was surprised that it was an issue, since I thought Sparrow should work fine with pruned node, just older transaction history won't be scanned. So I decided to revert back to full node.
Then I decided to google a bit and found out I could ignore the error and continue using pruned node with sparrow as is.
So the error confused me in a way that I thought that was indeed an error and sparrow can't continue to work, but it appears I could ignore it.

I would suggest to make it clear that this is not an error, but a warning instead and add more explanations so the users can understand that they still can continue using the wallet with pruned mode node.
