Description
Power BI now supports Service Principal profiles for multi-tenant apps.
With the current PowerShell modules, it appears apps using this model must add the X-PowerBI-profile-id header in each request and use Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod rather than the commands directly.
Can Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount be updated to provide a Profile ID to use in the other commands?

Research direction
Start with the Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount and Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod entry points, then trace how connection details are passed to the other Power BI commands. Done means a profile ID can be supplied through Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount and the other commands use the required profile header without manual REST calls.
