Warbarges are likely among the hundreds of various classes of vessels in the New Eden galaxy that are not rigged for capsuleer use nor is there any value in doing so.
Similar to plugging in a capsuleer into a station or star gate; there is no purpose for it it doesnt magically make either of those facilities run 10x better than a regularly crewed star gate or station and such ships are likely already normally crewed the way they are.
Ultimately warbarges are also one of those civilian ships that eve capsuleers also auto-filter out of their sensors readouts.
Likely these barges are several generations in technology back and would not be worth the ammo in shooting down; they're just getting extended life in our hands.
There is also a chance that the sudden procurement of many of these barges where at the behest of concord. One of Concords directives is the direct management and control of immortals to prevent them from being too destructive on the not so immortal people.
Warbarges likely hosts the black boxes all immortal soldiers have to which if you destroy said barge you kill said soldier permanently in theory as long as you kill all remaining instances of that soldier before he establishes a new black box.

Guesstimating size (based off the fact war barges carry MCCs, and there's the visible MCC door on the side, I would say a war barge is about the size of a Drake, but I could be wrong. Actually, googling a pic for the size of a Drake, a war barge is probably bigger.
Warbarges where guesstimated to be the size of a small capital ship.
Battlecruisers would be be large enough to launch a wing of RDVs from any of its replaced turret facilities.
Likely half size of a dreadnought (whose one bay can launch a very large mcc like vessel carrying thousands of drop troops)
Warbarges are likely taking lessons from previous wars transport ships which where generally freighters but making them more lightweight and mobile for immortal soldier use.

Actually, googling a pic for the size of a Drake, a war barge is probably bigger. If anything the MCC carries our warbarges. It is after all the ship which carries all of our clones and other supplies into battle. Best I can tell an actual warbarge would not need to be any larger than a destroyer to server its purpose.
MCCs are destroyer sized much larger than most eve frigates.
The smallest ship that can deploy a frigate is a battleship just to give you guys ideas on sizes.
Frigates are generally 747 sized.
