Yeah that's fine.
As a side note, you might want to point out that you don't have to use the tigera-operator (we don't)

@smira I removed API server since I found a bug (not talos related) with it when using kubeprsim IP. I'll have another update later to include it but for now it is safe to remove it.

Out of curiousity, what's the bug? (I'm currently debugging something related to calico and talking to api server right now; so maybe you found it!)

if using eBPF mode.
Also might want to prefix this section and point out that eBPF mode has downsides+doesn't work everywhere. e.g. it doesn't support all architectures

What? (description)
This PR fixes an installation issue with the previous way that Calico manifest was formed.
Why? (reasoning)
In my original #11966 there was some confusing sentences about nftables, and I forgot to include Kubeprsim.
