ingress-nginx metrics disabled when updating to k8s v1.30.3

[bitfisher]

RKE version:
v1.6.1

Type/provider of hosts: (VirtualBox/Bare-metal/AWS/GCE/DO)
Bare-metal

cluster.yml file:

...
ingress:
  provider: nginx
  default_backend: false
  nginx_ingress_controller_priority_class_name: system-cluster-critical
  options:
    load-balance: ewma
    enable-vts-status: "true"
    use-forwarded-headers: "true"
  tolerations:
    - key: "node.kubernetes.io/unreachable"
      operator: "Exists"
      effect: "NoExecute"
      tolerationseconds: 300
    - key: "node.kubernetes.io/not-ready"
      operator: "Exists"
      effect: "NoExecute"
      tolerationseconds: 300
...

Steps to Reproduce:
update k8s from v1.29.7 to v1.30.3

Results:
metrics are disabled in ds nginx-ingress-controller

...
      containers:
      - args:
        - /nginx-ingress-controller
        - --election-id=ingress-controller-leader-nginx
        - --controller-class=k8s.io/ingress-nginx
        - --configmap=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/ingress-nginx-controller
        - --tcp-services-configmap=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/tcp-services
        - --udp-services-configmap=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/udp-services
        - --validating-webhook=:8443
        - --validating-webhook-certificate=/usr/local/certificates/cert
        - --validating-webhook-key=/usr/local/certificates/key
        - --enable-metrics=false
        - --watch-ingress-without-class=true
...

before the update metrics didn't get disabled explicitly - enabled by default as expected

...
      containers:
      - args:
        - /nginx-ingress-controller
        - --election-id=ingress-controller-leader-nginx
        - --controller-class=k8s.io/ingress-nginx
        - --configmap=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/ingress-nginx-controller
        - --tcp-services-configmap=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/tcp-services
        - --udp-services-configmap=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/udp-services
        - --validating-webhook=:8443
        - --validating-webhook-certificate=/usr/local/certificates/cert
        - --validating-webhook-key=/usr/local/certificates/key
        - --watch-ingress-without-class=true
...

Workaround:
add enable-metrics: true to extra_args

...
ingress:
  provider: nginx
  default_backend: false
  nginx_ingress_controller_priority_class_name: system-cluster-critical
  options:
    load-balance: ewma
    enable-vts-status: "true"
    use-forwarded-headers: "true"
  extra_args:
    enable-metrics: "true"
  tolerations:
    - key: "node.kubernetes.io/unreachable"
      operator: "Exists"
      effect: "NoExecute"
      tolerationseconds: 300
    - key: "node.kubernetes.io/not-ready"
      operator: "Exists"
      effect: "NoExecute"
      tolerationseconds: 300
...

this results in duplication of --enable-metrics param. not nice, but is working for now.

...
      containers:
      - args:
        - /nginx-ingress-controller
        - --election-id=ingress-controller-leader-nginx
        - --controller-class=k8s.io/ingress-nginx
        - --configmap=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/ingress-nginx-controller
        - --tcp-services-configmap=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/tcp-services
        - --udp-services-configmap=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/udp-services
        - --validating-webhook=:8443
        - --validating-webhook-certificate=/usr/local/certificates/cert
        - --validating-webhook-key=/usr/local/certificates/key
        - --enable-metrics=false
        - --enable-metrics=true
        - --watch-ingress-without-class=true

Raised an upstream issue, since their chart is disabling it now by default, but the controller code is enabling it
Will take a call on how to proceed based on their reply.
