I think I've got a fix for the connector thing, gotta still try it out to be sure. I just thought that the mbeans-descriptors fix is "low hanging fruit". IE, with just a simple little fix, every time somebody is forced to go back to the old connector for one reason or another, they won't immediately come back to the list with the complaint of "I'm getting the following exception".
But if an upgrade to commons-modeler would also fix the problem without changing deprecated code, I'm all for doing that instead. Let me go check out my code changes to CoyoteRequest, see how they work...

IMO the right solution is to fix #10229 for coyote. There are a lot of problems in the old connectors - even if mod_jk2 is not yet as stable as mod_jk1, the java side and coyote are far better than the old impl. I'm +0 on fixing the MBean exception - AFAIK upgrading commons-modeler should fix most of the problems with undeclared mbeans. The real problem is that the Ajp13Connector has a lot of problems and it's no longer supported - all work is on the coyote connector, I don't know anyone testing or supporting Ajp13.
