The issue here isn't if the warpads were indeed monitored or not its if the Crystal Gems themselves knew if they were monitored. From what we know, its most likely that they did monitor the activity of the warpads, considering how in the war the gems of Homeworld used them to flee away from Earth. We have no way of knowing if they were kept being monitored after the war or not but so didn't the Crystal Gems. Their fear towards the warpads due to not knowing if they were kept being monitored or not led them to play safe and make sure that they weren't kept active in case Homeworld still somewhat monitored them.
