Description

It's surprisingly hard to get observations from Spring Data repository invocations. Annotating the repository interface with @Observed doesn't work. We create metrics in MetricsRepositoryMethodInvocationListener, maybe we can use this to also create observations?

Research direction

Start by reading MetricsRepositoryMethodInvocationListener and the existing metric creation path. Compare that path with how @Observed observations are created and determine the expected behavior for Spring Data repository invocations. Done means repository calls produce the intended observations without breaking the existing metrics behavior.
