Description
Please describe your usage scenario
With the release of Dapr 1.8.1, we should better provide support accordingly.
Describe the solution you'd like
Upgrade Dapr SDK to upcoming version 2.3.1 as well, which introduces client.start to ensure sidecar has started and has a release target at the end of July. 2.3.0 has one known es module import issue dapr/js-sdk#307.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Additional context
Dapr 1.8.0 broke the e2e tests, we've bypassed this by locking runtime to 1.7.1.
