I'm wondering if when I'm cleaning plates/bowls that I've used to eat raw meat/fat, is it necessary to use soap for cleaning them, or would it be sufficient to just use a dish scrubber and warm water to clean/rinse the bowl?

If you don't have warm water then soap doesn't work. My buddy uses dirt as a cleaning agent.

I'm currently using soap and warm water with a dish scrubber.

Soap is rarely needed. Most of the times cold water is sufficient to clean the dishes, except when it contained fish. For meat, a wooden platter is more suited; it can be washed with warm water, without soap.

Wood is easier and nicer to cut on. Also easier to make your own with a chainsaw and a sander. Not sure how much chainsaw oil comes off into the wood though... Could you use lard instead of chainsaw oil in the chainsaw?

I only eat out of one ceramic bowl, and I clean it with my finger. If I cook stuff in my pot, which is stainless steel, I clean that with a piece of steel wool. Anything that is abrasive will work though, where I have lived where the running water is from an outdoor spigot, I often have used gravel, dirt, leaves, chips of wood, etc cause that's whats around, its how I clean all these animals bowls too. Dirt works well when you don't have hot water because its absorbent. There are substances like chicken fat and marrow just make everything greasy, that's when soap is helpful but also realizing you aren't going to die from a little old fat is also helpful. It's weird that I had this conversation IRL today, get out of my brain internet.
