I would assume that the reason this feature was added was because there wasn't a feasible alternative way to do it.
I suggest you upgrade to v2.45.5 which is the current "Long Term Stable" release. The previous LTS release (v2.37) went end-of-life <https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/release-cycle/> in July 2023, so it seems you're very likely running something unsupported at the moment.
