Forc lint and `forc build` keep giving these warnings that storage variable xyz is never used when this isn’t true (I keep referencing it as `storage.variable_name`).

Is this something I can avoid or is this a poor programming pattern on my part?

This seems like a bug. Seems that you are indeed using `balances` here. Do you mind producing a small reproducer and filing an issue on Github [here](https://github.com/FuelLabs/sway/issues)? You can also link to a repo containing your contract where this can be reproduced.
