Shriekers should give you the darkness effect when placed by a player

The skulk shrieker will currently not give you the darkness effect when it is placed by a person or created by a skulk catalyst. I think they should not be able to spawn the warden, but should give you the darkness effect, as it would be nearly impossible to get the "how did we get here" advancement. You would have to bring a shulker, elder guardian, and a dolphin into the deep dark biome, which would be nearly impossible as the dolphin would die on land, and the shulker would keep hitting you with bullets. It would be much simpler to just put a shrieker next to the current setup for the advancement.

    Agreed, it would also help with letting players set the mood of their builds. For example, a haunted mansion or something.

    If it is possible in a future update, this should be added since it gives the shriekers a use, creating atmosphere in builds.

    I agree, this makes the most sense as the shrieker being able to activate and cause darkness outside of the deep dark is logical, and so is it not being able to summon a warden outside of the deep dark. I think the Warden being native to only the deep dark makes sense, but not the darkness effect being stuck there as well.
