I initially made the same mistake and got the E version, I never managed to get it to even pair the tags with it. After I switched to the P version it worked using the IKEA repeater and the method I described above.
The cluster info is from the “Cluster” tab of the device in zigbee2mqtt, im not sure how relevant it is, but the ability to support cluster 242 seem to be one criteria for the device to be able to pair the powertags.
