I did hear that one of their newer versions does use eBPF, but I haven't even remotely looked into it.

They do have a bpf sensor. It's still shite, managing to periodically peg a CPU core on an idle system. They just lifted and shifted their legacy code into the bpf sensor, they don't actually make good use of eBPF capabilities.
