Google Says Having Duplicate Meta Descriptions Doesn't Mean Your Site Is Broken

Google has a report in Google Search Console that shows you your duplicate meta descriptions, the report is called the HTML improvements report. It will document "Meta description problems: Potential problems with duplicate or otherwise problematic meta descriptions." Are they real problems?
