In Unicon's case, they're using annotations to autowire these beans into the various lists and objects inside the IdP's Spring wiring:

https://github.com/Unicon/shib-mfa-duo-auth/blob/master/src/main/groovy/net/unicon/iam/shibboleth/idp/authn/duo/global/Config.groovy

While there's no specific reason that that should have stopped working (the bean names referenced are "public" and have not changed names or definitions), it's also unsupported because we have an official, if possibly not clearly documented, rule that annotations are unsupported.

If it did break, which seems to be the case, it would be interesting to know why, but mostly as a "this is why they're not supported" exercise demonstrating the reason for avoiding them.
