Support for EIP-5630 urgently needed since eth_getEncryptionPublicKey was deprecated #4509

Description

@jdbertron

EIP-5630 proposes to replace the now removed eth_getEncryptionPublicKey with a new eth_getECDH to perform a Diffie Hellman key generation using provided material without exposing the public key.
Some applications have used the encryption/decryption capability of Wallets to secure data locally and on-chain for some time, without requiring the user to know or provide additional key material. The removal of eth_getEncryptionPublicKey has severely impacted that capability and needs to be restored in some way.
Please provide some update on the intention or future plans to support this or some other wallet based encryption/decryption functionality.
