This has been a concern for me too. But the agent is just a statsd receiver with some extra magic, so this seems like a thing that could be solved with the collector sending traffic to an agent rather than the HTTP APIs?
I looked at the OTel DD stuff and did not see any support for this, fwiw, maybe it doesn't work b/c the agent expects more context from the pod (e.g. app and label?)
