More work is being done and released with each update of the plugin.
Previously there was not enough work done in this feature so it wasn't doing anything. Now that there's been more progress, it does.
It's not an error. It's an experiment. These should not be enabled on live sites

In your plugin options there's checkboxes to enable/disable experiments.
I'm guessing you have enabled the templates experiment.
You can simply disable it, this experiment is under heavy development.
If you do want to test it, there's a new menu under Appearance on your dashboard where you can create templates. Templates should be named index, page etc. There's currently no blocks for content, post-title etc, these are still being worked on (that's why it's still an experiment).

@aristath I totally understand the there are experiments but those were checked before the plugin was updated and working fine. Are there reasons why there is no checker if there are templates or not to prevent this error? Thanks!

@aristath I see. Thanks a lot!

Closing as addressed. The replies from @aristath are valid.
