I have a backup process that is taking hourly dumps of the oplog on my production cluster running MongoDB v.5.0.6.

It works fine using older versions of mongodump. However, when I update my tools to any version higher than 100.3.1 (100.4.x and above), my oplog backups fail with the following error:

CMD : 2022-02-16T15:39:03.186-0500  Failed: error creating intents to dump: error counting local.oplog.rs: (Location40602) $collStats is only valid as the first stage in a pipeline.

According to Atlas Support, this issue is limited to M0-M5 clusters and will need to be addressed by the Atlas development team.

Can I ask that this be looked at so that we can keep up with the latest tool and cluster versions without sacrificing our opLog backup strategy?
