It's one of those issues where Django complains about a missing migration, but the actual migration doesn't alter data or schema, so I believe this is safe to apply to the running servers. (It won't actually apply anything, it will just quiet Django's complaint)
The version of django-rest-framework that we are using is missing a migration file, which is included in the 2.4.3 version: https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/pull/1883

Tested locally.
