When we test multiversion scenarios, the parameters set at the build variant level (like this one), are not being set during the instantiation of old mongod binaries (i.e. mongod-8.0, mongod-7.0, etc).

According to this message, this prevents setting a parameter that could not exist on a mongod version. However, this is error-prone solution since some tests may expect a parameter to be set on all the mongod binaries of a cluster.

For instance, we have had a test failure (the BF is linked to this ticket) since we expected all binaries on a cluster to have set this parameter.
