Need to resolve the test failures around adding toolchain to go.mod files. This is the state after running the command per our release steps. Need to check if we need to update it accordingly.

Seems like the test failure in the latest commit is related to a dep that we are pulling in. Checking this now.

Tests are all failing.

Fixed the tests, For some reason go get -u ./... && go mod tidy -compat=1.19 did not update stats/otel to use otel/sdk/metric @ 1.27.

However running go mod tidy -compat=1.19 added toolchain to go.mod files -- which is not supported in 1.20. I'll just wait for #7250 to be merged to unblock this.
