ansible-core==2.21.0 : Module failed: 'JuniperJunosModule' object has no attribute 'safe_eval'

ansible-core==2.21.0

Since upgrading from Ansible-Core 2.20.5 to 2.21.0 it doesn't appear to be possible to use juniper.device 2.0.1 without hitting the following:

TASK [Run storage cleanup dry-run RPC] *****************************************************************************
[WARNING]: Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting `deprecation_warnings=False` in ansible.cfg.
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Importing 'to_bytes' from 'ansible.module_utils._text' is deprecated. This feature will be removed from ansible-core version 2.24. Use ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters instead.
[ERROR]: Task failed: Module failed: 'JuniperJunosModule' object has no attribute 'safe_eval'
Origin: /tmp/testing/project/tasks/upgrade/storage_cleanup_dryrun.yml:5:3

<snip>
fatal: [SRX-1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "changed_when_result": false, "msg": "Task failed: Module failed: 'JuniperJunosModule' object has no attribute 'safe_eval'"}

I suspect that this is because the deprecated function safe_eval has now been removed from 2.21.0
