URI Too Long when trying to page selection on content browser modal

Problem/Motivation

I have an issue where the pager in the content browser modal fails due to receiving an Ajax error from Apache. Request-URI Too Long

Here is the error with the URL sanitized -

Uncaught 
Object { message: "\nAn AJAX HTTP error occurred.\nHTTP Result Code: 414\nDebugging information follows.\nPath: /views/ajax?uuid=a3619d5a37fb37c64d9aa8edbad2a8e99092ce40&original_path=/admin/structure/entityqueue/electric_utility_page/electric_issues\nStatusText: Request-URI Too Long\nResponseText: \n414 Request-URI Too Long\nRequest-URI Too Long\nThe requested URL's length exceeds the capacity\nlimit for this server.\nApache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu) Server at www.example.com Port 443\n", name: "AjaxError", stack: "@https://www.example.com/sites/default/files/js/js_p7jUkkSlFK5bjQbCWkggzNHH1Qs4ZI9yb2vlpmPvPWY.js?scope=footer&delta=0&language=en&theme=bootstrap_5&include=eJx9UlF2gyAQvBCBr56Ht-BGNwJr2TWJPX1Rkzax7_VHh9kRZkYiV3SXzxnrYqBQBkUPZXEPbGBW9gNSP6hb8Q7faCqkBIm-0MQRO1KunkqHRUPiOLoXbOJ6XFfnCZKdKvcVRRpZFO86Q3qOfplTojKKOTcCbiic0b1gK9f-v5mVgbLpmfu0xoK0KEVxR2K3dZFTZB4JTeYOkp-gR7fB0wqNcGwxfW4RwW-23F_K6oC5aRdRzC6AoOEYfWBW0QqT_3CiS8K3JiAqXXGLalrs9f0cPZa_zUJsX3bExf0ge65rX6Vrm6YEk9BefKJQoRKKlUQdnjA1a0UPqtWIaTTp4kPlm2B178v9BxX9GWcQLu3CHPkr4c2sD9mg2Nbe_MxKTVtb43a_bfbMNb-J4QL3XRogjoFLq3FoHQ-yaw8et8MOnEIQE6j3E01tmwf4Bk-yItA:51:2411\n@https://www.example.com/sites/default/files/js/js_p7jUkkSlFK5bjQbCWkggzNHH1Qs4ZI9yb2vlpmPvPWY.js?scope=footer&delta=0&language=en&theme=bootstrap_5&include=eJx9UlF2gyAQvBCBr56Ht-BGNwJr2TWJPX1Rkzax7_VHh9kRZkYiV3SXzxnrYqBQBkUPZXEPbGBW9gNSP6hb8Q7faCqkBIm-0MQRO1KunkqHRUPiOLoXbOJ6XFfnCZKdKvcVRRpZFO86Q3qOfplTojKKOTcCbiic0b1gK9f-v5mVgbLpmfu0xoK0KEVxR2K3dZFTZB4JTeYOkp-gR7fB0wqNcGwxfW4RwW-23F_K6oC5aRdRzC6AoOEYfWBW0QqT_3CiS8K3JiAqXXGLalrs9f0cPZa_zUJsX3bExf0ge65rX6Vrm6YEk9BefKJQoRKKlUQdnjA1a0UPqtWIaTTp4kPlm2B178v9BxX9GWcQLu3CHPkr4c2sD9mg2Nbe_MxKTVtb43a_bfbMNb-J4QL3XRogjoFLq3FoHQ-yaw8et8MOnEIQE6j3E01tmwf4Bk-yItA:51:19298\n" }

Steps to reproduce

I just created a content browser and in the content browser view keep the default pager. When you try to page it sends a ridiculously long URI to Apache resulting in an AJAX Error. I haven't tried to recreate this yet from a clean install to ensure that there wasn't something specific to my site that was causing this error to manifest or if the pager will always fail within the content browser modal.

Proposed resolution

Possible rewrite to use the ViewsAjaxController to avoid running into this error - got this suggestion from - https://www.drupal.org/project/viewsreference/issues/3364798 🐛 Views reference is adding many query string variables to the pager URLs RTBC - since it is a similar views based module running into a similar error.

I am experiencing this as well. It is completely disabling my ability to browse for content in my node reference fields.

Drupal 10.1.5
Entity Browser 2.x dev
Content Browser 8.1.1

The urls on the pager look like this:

https://divinity.ddev.site/entity-browser/modal/modal_content_entity_bro...

except about 10 times as long.
