I also get this error and to avoid it, i only enable the https on webpack-dev-server (not using jhipster tls profile). Since my production environment is accessed by the client via reverse proxy with https enabled (ngix) to java server (wildfly), i don't need to enable https in the spring configuration.
If you see the webpack configuration below, the proxy target is targeting http endpoint.
FYI, I set the key and certificate on root_project/tls folder.
Here is my webpack dev server configuration:
