Running tcpdump on eks worker nodes
You can try using https://www.inspektor-gadget.io/ You can try either, top tcp, trace network-graph or trace tcp gadget. It's a CNCF sandbox project and it's kubernetes native so I think this should work.

unknown field "capabilities" in io.k8s.api.core.v1.PodSecurityContext (running tshark in a container/k8s pod)
so probably the right way is to use some tool like that (ksniff) or setup a sidecar container. But I am still curious to why I get the above error.

Running tcpdump on eks worker nodes
I've used https://github.com/eldadru/ksniff with success. Recently on this sub Kubeshark was also mentioned.

Making Kubernetes Operations Easy with kubectl Plugins
ksniff - known as sniff is a tool for debugging and capturing networking data. It's able to attach to a pod and using tcpdump to forward networking data to your local Wireshark. This tool also works pretty well with tshark - the command-line version of Wireshark.
