CloudWatch RDS Logs to Splunk

I am using Splunk App for AWS couple of Questions :

In the guide https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/AWS/CloudWatchLogs it says Splunk strongly recommends against using the CloudWatch Logs inputs to collect VPC Flow Logs data (source type: aws:cloudwatchlogs:vpcflow) since the input type will be deprecated in upcoming releases. Does this relate to RDS as well or is RDS Safe?

Log group A comma-separated list of log group names. Is there a size limit to this filed.
Also is there an API call that updates this value when a new instance is created.

Splunk takes a configuration as $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/local/aws_cloudwatch_logs_tasks.conf c*an this file be updated automatically* via a process that would read the list of instances and write it here.
