Current Behavior

When the istio version is bumped from 1.21.1 to 1.22.0, the TestIstioWithKongIngressGateway fails with the following message:

    istio_test.go:208: 
        	Error Trace:	/home/runner/work/kubernetes-ingress-controller/kubernetes-ingress-controller/test/e2e/istio_test.go:208
        	Error:      	Condition never satisfied
        	Test:       	TestIstioWithKongIngressGateway
        	Messages:   	eventually metrics data for successful requests should start populating in kiali

The tests against other istio versions passes (1.17.8~1.21.2).

Expected Behavior

Istio tests passes.

Steps To Reproduce

Run istio tests with the command
ISTIO_VERSION=1.22.0 KONG_LICENSE_DATA=$KONG_LICESEN_DATA NCPU=1  make test.istio

Kong Ingress Controller version

latest nightly

Kubernetes version

1.29.4

Anything else?

Maybe some configurations should be added to configure istio?

Reverted the bump for a temporary fix.
