How to update multiple objects in array in a single mongodb document using mongoose

I know that this can be a repeat question but none of the existing answers solved my problem.

I have a friendsSchema like below:

const friendsSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    owner: {
        type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        ref: 'Player'
    },
    friends: [{
        friendId: {
            type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
            ref: 'Player'
        },
        isFromFacebook: {
            type: Boolean,
            default: false
        },
        thisFriendReceivedGiftTimeStamp: {
            type: Date,
            default: null
        },
        thisFriendSentGiftTimeStamp: {
            type: Date,
            default: null
        }
    }]
}, {
    timestamps: true
});

The client is sending me an array of friendsIds.

So, I want to find all objects in friends array which matches all friendsIds and update their thisFriendReceivedGiftTimeStamp to Date.now().

Consider the client is sending 100s of ids in friendsIds array, what will be the most efficient way to achieve the result.

Thanks in advance.

db.collection.update({IF YOU WANT TO ADD QUERY ACCORDING TO OWNER FIELD PLEASE ADD HERE},
{
  "$set": {
    "friends.$[x].thisFriendReceivedGiftTimeStamp": new Date()
  }
},
{
  "arrayFilters": [
    {
      "x.friendId": {
        $in: [
          1,
          3,
          5
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "multi": true
})

arrayFilters should work great here. But I am not 100% sure about efficiency
