Do you know why? Or if there is any interest to change that?

It's would be possible, but it rather sounds like the real issue is that
the kernel module is outdated. And for container volumes, krbd is also
always used, so it would need to be adapted there too. Otherwise, you
will still break container volumes when bumping the minimum required
client version.

Yes, I'm planning to add that later, it's hopefully rather easy once the
infrastructure is in place.
