(since, to me, creating the instrumental meant being a producer).

no it doesnt mean being a producer. sometimes you just give the notes to an instrument player and let him play whats written on paper. it just makes you a musician on an album.
sometimes you let musicians to jam and improvise to the beat and if you like something you use it. that makes you musician and a writer/composer on an album.
if you compose melodies while jaming and improvising to the beat, and also you decide how track should proceed from start to end and you decide what kind of composition it needs with verses, chorus, bridges and whole structure. then it makes you a musician, writer/composer and a co producer on an album.

I honestly don't know if Warren just doesn't produce anymore or what the issue is. To my knowledge, he isn't really signed exclusively anywhere, so he could probably sell them beats directly and make good money doing so.
After "I Want It All", him and Dre patched things up and unfortunately Warren turned into a bit of a Dr Dre clone and started making music resembling Dr Dre production and Warren lost his unique sound. The Game Don't Wait RMX and Looking at You, etc. sound alot more like Dre than Warren. And i know he was jumping on what was selling at the time and he felt GFunk wasn't really selling anymore and he changed his sound. No harm in trying that. Problem is now, he could easily go back to his early GFunk sound and it would be great for his legacy and career, but he's still chasing the sound of whatever is popular now hoping to land a radio hit. Warren needs to be the best Warren G he can be, and not trying to be the best Wiz Khalifa or whatever current popular producers are doing these days.

of course they do because they are produced by dr. dre
if you listen to Return of the regulator it is pure Warren G. sure they are some dr. dre influenced brass and strings but he was still using 90s type of walking bass guitars, slap bass gutiars, electro/rhytm/wah guitars, rhodes and keys, and etc... it was fucking post 2000s and you cant keep it going with mid 90s g-funk. he really put his own flavor to what dre made popular for whole wide world after 2001 album.

dr. dre is the only other person to have a production credit on a dj quik album with "put it on me"

Also 213 album was a classic although it didnt have warren g production instead of "groupie luv" remix on maxi single.
after 2004, his fall off began with such weak albums like midnight hour g funk files etc...
and you are right about warren had a good musician team. as you mentioned greg, ricky rouse, del atkins, aj luke, sean thomas were on "take a look over your shoulder" and andrew gouche, craig brockman, marion williams on "return of the regulator". musicians worked on "i want it all" album are missing and uncredited unfortunately.
