Wildfly 23 jboss-cli.sh script can't be interpreted by sh

In the WF version 23 there was a change in jboss-cli.sh script on line 89 that leads to the error during the execution:

$ ./wildfly-23.0.0.Final/bin/jboss-cli.sh 
./wildfly-23.0.0.Final/bin/jboss-cli.sh: 89: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

The sh shell hasn't syntax to create arrays and this particular code is not working in sh:

 # WFCORE-5241 convert $JAVA_OPTS into array and quote each element to allow exec them with whitespace inside.
 89 java_opts_array=()
 90 eval 'for arg in '$JAVA_OPTS'; do java_opts_array+=("$arg"); done' 

Actual behavior:

there is an error during script execution

Expected behavior:

Script is working

Additional details

Please ** consider an option to not change the interpreter to bash because lots of slim Linux distros don't have this package installed.
