Spring Boot Actuator: Error creating bean ... hikari - spring-boot

Question

This is a follow up of my solved config problem. Just for brief summary:
I try to enable Spring Boot Actuator (together with Swagger) and have in the pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
with the following config in the yml-file:
springdoc:
api-docs:
enabled: true
show:
actuator: true
management:
endpoints:
web:
exposure:
include: "*"
When I now launch the application I get the following stack trace:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.metrics.jdbc.DataSourcePoolMetricsAutoConfiguration$HikariDataSourceMetricsConfiguration': Injection of autowired d

I tried to search for solution and found in Github an issue. Since I'm using Spring Boot 2.4.5 I would have expected to be solved already. But doesn't seem so.
How to apply the suggested patch from Gradle to Maven?
Is there another solution for this issue? e.g. some configuration?
