Not in any way fatal unless they eventually cover the eyes (for obvious reasons). Fit for human consumption, as well.
The pictures I saw had one deer so covered with them that I could see very litle hide. Some warts were so dense and on top of each other that the whole mass protruded off of this animals body 4-5 inches.
You eat what you shoot, but having said that, I'm thinkin' it's a 'pass' if I can see this malady well enough to know he's got 'em.
Not rare, but not usual either.

Deer warts (fibroma).......just read an article on them.

They seem to come and go in phases. A bunch of mule deer had them on my place two years back but then I haven't seen it since. Never saw it on the whitetail.

So these warts are mainly seasonal?
