Workload resources fail to synth

[iliapolo]

Description of the bug:

Looks like all workload resources (except Pod) are failing to synth:

• StatefulSet
• CronJob
• Job
• Deployment
• DaemonSet

Reproduction Steps:

new kplus.StatefulSet(this, 'DB', {
  containers: [{ image: 'db', portNumber: 8000 }],
});

Error Log:

Resolved by #3016. Specifically, this commit.

@iliapolo I think I'm running into this attempting to update a legacy application to cdk8s-plus-22 (2.0.0-rc.158).

Is it possible to try backporting the fix to cdk8s-plus-22? I tested a patch (using patch-package) using the changes from the commit you linked and it seemed to allow my synth to complete.
