### Contact Details

sebastian@platform9.com

### Version

1.25 (latest patch)

### What version of Kubernetes are you using?

1.32

### What is your Kubernetes environment?

Self-managed: kind (evaluation)

### How did you install the operator?

Helm

### What happened?

We're building an in-house operator on top of CNPG and observing a panic in our own operator inside https://pkg.go.dev/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime@v0.19.4/pkg/controller/controllerutil#CreateOrUpdate when reconciling on a `Cluster`

```
an unexported field was encountered, nested like this: *v1.Cluster -> v1.Cluster -> v1.ClusterSpec -> *v1.ReplicationSlotsConfiguration -> v1.ReplicationSlotsConfiguration -> *v1.SynchronizeReplicasConfiguration -> v1.SynchronizeReplicasConfiguration -> v1.synchronizeReplicasCache -> bool
```

This is due to https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg/pull/3710/files#diff-23ef73aeeb33654fa19d5f71b6e2c231660b6ec9023ad82dd736918ce6950617R1004 introducing an unexported field without specifying an an Equality function, see https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg/pull/3710/files#diff-23ef73aeeb33654fa19d5f71b6e2c231660b6ec9023ad82dd736918ce6950617R1004 

It should be reproducable by calling `reflect.DeepEqual` on two `v1.Cluster`s with a trivially populated `SynchronizeReplicasConfiguration`.

Hints from issue comments:
@dosubot: Hi, @sebastian-philipp. I'm [Dosu](https://dosu.dev), and I'm helping the cloudnative-pg team manage their backlog. I'm marking this issue as stale.

**Issue Summary**
- The issue involves a panic in a custom operator using CloudNativePG's `v1.Cluster` type.
- The panic is caused by an unexported field lacking an Equality function, affecting reconciliation.
- The problem can be reproduced with `reflect.DeepEqual` on two `v1.Cluster` objects with `SynchronizeReplicasConfiguration`.
- No additional comments or activities have been made on this issue.

**Next Steps**
- Please confirm if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of the cloudnative-pg repository by commenting here.
- If no updates are provided, the issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!@sebastian-philipp: unstale please@senorhesles: We are hitting this issue as well (CP4AIOPS at IBM).
