As another affected user i think downgrade would not be a good idea as it would reopen all the fixed security issues.

But as i wrote in my initial description there is a very easy workaround which may even make sense to keep.

The problem with jps only happens if
a.) A java program is running as non-root user
b.) you run jps as root and want data about the running process from a.)

Not running jps as root but instead as the same user as the process is running it is enough to not trigger the bug.

I did not check any of your charms but at least in our app it was very easy to change our script to not trigger the issue.

Maybe you can incoporate the same change into your scripts/charms also
