Call to undefined method Wikimedia\Composer\Merge\V2\PluginState::shouldMergeReplace() breaking deployments after upgrade to 2.1

[mlncn]

Our local composer update works fine but the composer install in our deployment process is breaking with that shouldMergeReplace() is undefined error.

Upgrading wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin (v2.0.1 => v2.1.0)

is in the list of changes.

Locking it to 2.0.1 fixes the error. Other changes such as upgrading composer/installers from v1.12.0 to v2.2.0 did not help, though i know when dealing with composer meta things (installers, merge plugin, etc) it can take two cycles of composer, which maybe is why our build process doesn't work, but for now reporting the error because seems no one else has, and our workaround of holding it at 2.0.1.
