EKS Worker Nodes on RHEL 8?
The same approach hasn't worked very well or very consistently with RHEL. I'm using containerd as the runtime. Because iptables-legacy is hardcoded out of RHEL 8, I'm using iptables-nft (installed on OS). I use Terraform to deploy the cluster and provide configuration values to tell vpc-cni to enable nftables (noted at the bottom here: https://github.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md), as well as to install and enable ipvs on kube-proxy.

New-Amazon EKS and Amazon EKS Distro now support Kubernetes version 1.26
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin. You must upgrade your VPC CNI plugin version to 1.12 or higher. Earlier versions of the VPC CNI will cause the CNI to crash, because it relied on the CRI v1alpha2API, which has been removed from Kubernetes v1.26. For step-by-step instructions to upgrade the VPC CNI in your cluster, refer to Working with the Amazon VPC CNI plugin for Kubernetes Amazon EKS add-on.

Blog: KWOK: Kubernetes WithOut Kubelet
I believe you're correct, although pedantically that would only apply if one is using their vpc-cni <https://github.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s#readme> and not with a competing CNI. Kubelet offers a configurable for the number of Pods per Node <https://github.com/kubernetes/kubelet/blob/v0.26.2/config/v1...> which defaults to 110 for what I would presume is CIDR or pid cgroups reasons and thus is unlikely to differ by instance size as the ENI limit you mention does (IIRC)

Pods stuck in ContainerCreating with "failed to assign an IP address to container"
Upgraded to v1.12 on EKS and CNI 1.5.0. This issue was closed stating CNI 1.5.0 solved the issue. It did not for us. In another thread leaking ENIs was blamed but was also closed due to CNI upgrade.

How to understand the IP and host of client under company's VPN
Take a look a the github repo for the EKS CNI I think the parameter AWS_VPC_K8S_CNI_RANDOMIZESNAT will address the port issue. We had a similar problem and this worked around it. (we did end up solving it another way)

EKS and the quest for IP addresses: Secondary CIDR ranges and private NAT gateways
EKS, the managed Kubernetes offering by AWS, by default uses the Amazon VPC CNI plugin for Kubernetes. Different to most networking implementations, this assigns each pod a dedicated IP address in the VPC, the network the nodes reside in.

EKS Cluster Nodes stuck in NotReady state (missing cni config/binary)
You might be able to get better help or research closed issues on the github issues page. https://github.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s/issues . Are you able to scale up your old node group with the smaller instance size and see if it works. The few times I hit issues around the network not being ready on a worker node in EKS, it ended up being permission related issue. Wondering if there are some missing permissions on the new node group role or on the aws-node iam role. Make sure the aws-node role has AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy policy attached to it.

EKS VPC CNI add-on: Support for high pod density in node
By default, the number of IP addresses available to assign to pods is based on the number of IP addresses assigned to Elastic network interfaces and the number of network interfaces attached to your Amazon EC2 node. The Amazon VPC CNI add-on (v1.9.0 or later) can be configured to assign /28 (16 IP addresses) IP address prefixes, instead of assigning individual IP addresses to network interfaces.

Why You Should Use k3d for Local Development. A Developer's Guide
k3d is a lightweight wrapper that makes running Kubernetes (specifically, the lightweight k3s distribution) in Docker straightforward and efficient. It's designed to provide developers with a quick and easy way to test Kubernetes without the overhead of setting up a full cluster.

Unable to launch older version (v2.6.8) of Rancher
You don’t need to run Rancher from a Kubernetes cluster, the rancher/rancher image works fine with Docker (it uses k3d, aka « k3s in docker » : https://k3d.io/).

Local Kubernetes Playground Made Easy
If you are a developer and want to learn how to deploy applications to a cluster, getting a cluster up an running can be a daunting task in it's own rights. There are many ways to do it: spinning up local virtual machines and configuring from scratch or using tools like minikube, etc. You may not care for the pain of setting up and configuring a cluster, and if that is you, then the quickest way that I have found is using k3d.
