Providing a Reproducible Scenario

Here is a plunker based on this example from the docs. All I did was to enable row dragging.

Current behavior
When using the SSRM in Tree Data mode with groupSelectsChildren={true}, one must not call getSelectedNodes and getSelectedRows, but api.getServerSideSelectionState and api.setServerSideSelectionState.

However, enabling row dragging will cause AG Grid to use functions like getSelectedNodes internally even though the user does not use them, causing this error:

AG Grid: `getSelectedNodes` and `getSelectedRows` functions cannot
be used with `groupSelectsChildren` and the server-side row model.
           Use `api.getServerSideSelectionState()` instead.

Open the console in the plunker and try dragging any row to see the error message.

Expected behavior
AG Grid should not internally use functions such as getSelectedNodes and getSelectedRows with this configuration, as they are not compatible with groupSelectsChildren.

Please tell us about your environment:
OS: Windows 11
Package manager: yarn

• AG Grid version: 31.2.1
  From my package.json file:

    "ag-grid-community": "^31.2.1",
    "ag-grid-enterprise": "^31.2.1",
    "ag-grid-react": "^31.2.1",

• Browser:

• Language: ES6/7

Any advice for me?
Please let me know how I can work around this issue to resume developing my application.
I was in the process of implementing unmanaged row dragging with multiple rows using the SSRM in Tree Data mode.
Thank you so much!
