There is a new client API for Influx 2.x (that's also compatible with 1.8.x). The new client is in a different package so that support for both can be provided. There are similar concepts and quite a number of configuration options that are different.
We can easily add support for the most basic options. See also https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/pull/25319#issuecomment-784092142

Considering that the new client has Spring Boot support, I think we should not provide dependency management for it as it creates a cycle between the projects. This means we'll have to revert support here as well in favor of the Spring Boot support in the client itself.
