Do you ever feel like you lose strength / are held back on your working sets because of your warmup sets? They seem just slightly excessive in relation to what I do.

For me, definitely not. Take the bench for example. 135x5 wont tire me at all. The rest is just ramping up weights with very low reps.

Then that one last rep at over my working set weight actually makes the working set feel lighter and it gives me an extra rep.

I have found that a lot of warm up sets with very low reps while ramping up weight helps me a ton.
