I managed to get some stuff working by adding disableSettingsMetrics (using the Helm chart), it's not complete but I get some metrics reported and not errors.

Seems like Azure returns "Disabled" instead of 0 / 1 or booleans for some configurations.

Yes, this is the reason for failure. Also, Azure restrict this parameter for modification from REPL and from UI
