Information request for "OPENDISTRO_ SECURITY_ ADMIN_ ALLOW_ MIXED_ CLUSTER" env

Hi,
I am trying an upgrade from Elasticsearch 7.10.2 to Opensearch 1.3.1. While running securityadmin, I am getting below error:
ERR: Your cluster consists of different node versions. It is not allowed to run securityadmin against a mixed cluster.
Minimum node version is 7.10.2
Maximum node version is 1.3.1

I have found this env setting “OPENDISTRO_SECURITY_ADMIN_ALLOW_MIXED_CLUSTER” which allows securitadmin to run on a mixed cluster. However, this is not referred in any documentation. Kindly update if there are any implications on adding this env, can this be used in our upgrade scenario?

Thanks in Advance.
