Stock status / Manage Stock for Configurable Products

[JSeverein]

Environment and configuration

1. Magento - 2.4.3-P1
2. Akeneo - growth-v20220105033855
3. Connector v6.0.1
4. MSI

Steps to reproduce

1. Import a product model with child products as a configurable product through the Akeneo connector
2. The default stock status is Out of Stock, Magento has Manage Stock and Show out of Stock products enabled.
3. The Configurable product has Out of stock status and manage stock = Yes
4. The Child products have In stock status and have qty assigned through MSI.

Expected result

1. Configurable product should have Manage stock = No, so that the qty/status of child products are leading.
2. The configurable product pages shows the attribute choices / add to cart for the In Stock products

Actual result

1. The Configurable product page is shown but the children (attribute choices/add to cart) are not.

The actual result is achieved when Manage stock for the configurable product is set to No. Is it possible to do this through default_value configuration for the configurable? I've tried the following: setting the connector's configurable configuration as attribute: manage_stock, type: default_value, value: 0. But it seems to be ignored, possible because manage_stock is contained in stock_data instead of the other product attributes
