[Python] Rundeck commands no longer working after upgrading nodes to Ubuntu 24.04

Im using rundeck (installed on a Ubuntu 22.04 server) to run commands on a few remote nodes. Unfortunately the scheduled jobs are not working anymore on nodes that have been upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04

I've tested to just run a simpel "uname -a" command on a remote Ubuntu 24.04 node and get the following error:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ansible.module_utils.six.moves' node01 | FAILED! => {

The rundeck server runs Rundeck version 5.6.0, Ansible version 2.10.8 and Python 3.10.12.
The node01 server runs Python 3.12.3

Update: After some more digging into logs I found this issue: https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck/issues/9278. This is the same problem I'm facing. Because of this error, the nodes seem to not refresh correctly and Rundeck is loading cached model data.
