$convert int to binData fails

I am attempting to convert an integer field to hex by using $convert passing from int to binData and then from binData to string with format hex:

The first step - converting int to binData yields onError result.

I am using mongo 8.0.4

There is some discrepancy between the release notes for mongo 8 which suggest that only string to binData and vice versa are possible but in the documentation for $convert it shows int and string conversion prototypes. Additionally, the int to binData conversion doesn’t accept the argument ‘byteOrder’.

All of this leads me to suspect that this is featuring for 8.0.5 or perhaps 8.1 which I don’t currently have access to via the routes in which I pull my versioning. Wanted to see if I could get some clarification or perhaps some suggestions for alternate approaches.

Thanks
