We need to cut a release of ansible-operator-plugins and then bump our dependency on this and cut a release.

We're in the process of upgrading our dependencies, this should happen with that automatically.

Checked Go version used in this new release.
For helm-operator, its upgraded to 1.21.10. Refer below output.
