Deprecated API warning: Calls to RED.util.evaluateJSONataExpression must include a callback

[mbbert]

Describe the bug
After the upgrade to Node-RED 3.1.0 the the debug window and log files are constantly flooded with this warning.

24 Sep 13:51:19 - [warn] Deprecated API warning: Calls to RED.util.evaluateJSONataExpression must include a callback. This will not be optional in Node-RED 4.0. Please identify the node from the following stack and check for an update on npm. If none is available, please notify the node author.

Expected behavior
The deprecated API call should be replaced so that these warnings are no longer logged.

System information (please complete the following information):

• Node Version v16.20.2
• Node-Red Version 3.1.0

Additional context
I'm using version 2.1.1 of this node, but I'm confident that this isn't solved yet with version 2.2.0-beta3.

I'd would be happy to patch version 2.1.1 myself locally if somebody would help me with code for a work-around.
Currently I removed the deprecation warning from util.js.
I wasn't able to wrap my head around the callback/Promise/async thing :(

Just updated node-red and facing the same issue?

Risked it by updating to 2.2.0-beta3 but still the same.

Is this node still being maintained though as it seems to be stalled? :(

for what is worth, #549 fixes it
