Cannot create tcp-only VirtualServer with bigip-controller

Im running Rancher and ingress-nginx and would like a simple solution to manage VIPs and have automatic update of the pool members, e.g passthru/tcp-only loadbalancing with TLS termination in ingress-niginx.

Installed the f5-bigip-ctlr helm chart with these values:
manage-ingress: false
pool_member_type: nodeport
custom-resource-mode: true

ingress-nginx is running on a nodeport.

Created a VIP CR with these settings:

apiVersion: "cis.f5.com/v1"
kind: VirtualServer
metadata:
  name: labb101-https
  namespace: ingress-nginx
  labels:
    f5cr: "true"
spec:
  partition: k8s_lab
  virtualServerAddress: "10.25.11.30"
  virtualServerName: "labb101-k8s-mydomain-com"
  virtualServerHTTPPort: 443
  pools:
  - path: /
    service: ingress-nginx-labb101-controller
    servicePort: 443
    monitors:
      - interval: 10
        recv: a
        send: /
        targetPort: 443
        timeout: 10
        type: tcp

Most resources are created correct however I cant get a VIP created with HTTP Profile (Client) "None" (as represented in the GUI)
If I dont specify profile, it is set automatically to "http".
And if I set tlsProfileName to "" (just guessing this is the field) validation fails with error Invalid value: "": spec.tlsProfileName in body should match '^[a-zA-Z]+[-A-z0-9_.:]+[A-z0-9]+$'

Another weird behavior is that my VIP gets Default Persistence Profile: cookie for some reason although Im not specifying it in my VirtualServer. (this may be why HTTP Profile is set to http, no sure)
