So, I was about to load into my world when I noticed that the exclamation mark ⚠️ wouldn't appear next to the arrow to load in and backup the world.

This is the normal behavior; when updating between release versions (which are supposed to be stable) it doesn't prompt on the menu like that. It worked like that in 1.12.2 as well. It only displayed in 1.13 due to MC-133942, where 1.13 accidentally thought it was a snapshot.
You should still receive a prompt to automatically backup when starting the world.
