I'm pretty sure my 2021 Crosstrek isn't in scope of that recall (at least as far as Subaru is concerned), but I'll do some more research. Thanks!
To fix the battery drain problem, you can add a jumper wire inside the main fuse box that makes it so the DCM is powered only when the car is running, not all the time. Details here:

Yeah, but I don't want the DCM to be powered/running when the car is running either because of the data privacy concerns.
