xray daemon doesn't appear to recognize EKS Pod Identity

I believe the image aws-xray-daemon is built on an older SDK version (v1.44.298) which does not support the EKS Pod Identity:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/pod-id-minimum-sdk.html
Hopefully this is just a mater of update the Go SDK, test, push, update xray container image. I will create a PR for the version change and run tests if time permits and link here.
Is there a chance of getting an updated version pushed out? I'd prefer we not have to build this ourselves. I know another option is ADOT ( https://aws-otel.github.io/ ) but ideally either a) there is guidance suggesting to move to that, or b) we do the full switch to open telemetry from xray.
