spring-data-elasticsearch 4.1 onwards missing SpEL template expression?

I have a project using spring-data-elasticsearch 4.3.1. Index names are dynamically supplied by a IndexNameProvider which extracts the names from the ENV, working totally fine.

Document annotated classes are using the spEL annotation like;

@Document(indexName = "#{@elasticsearchIndexProvider.getBibliographyIndexName()}")

This works fine for spring-data 4.0.0 RELEASE but fails for every following version with the error; java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/data/spel/ExpressionDependencies

The docs, which are on version 4.3.4 state this is still possible. What am I missing here?

Edit:

Also adding the dependency directly does not help;

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-expression</artifactId>
    <version>5.3.19</version>
</dependency>
