Yes! Version 2.14 was released a couple of days ago, and directly addresses the dimming flicker AND the non-neutral brightness issue. Firmware update available now.
It seems with some implementations (e.g., Z2M in Home Assistant) you need to wait for the next mqtt update for the proper controls to be exposed to enable the settings.
