So the solution here was to make sure you have context settings in to get it work properly in cluster mode

 'options' => [
          'cluster' => env('REDIS_CLUSTER', 'redis'),
          'prefix' => env('REDIS_PREFIX', Str::slug(env('APP_NAME', 'laravel'), '_').'_database_'),
          'failover' => RedisCluster::FAILOVER_DISTRIBUTE_SLAVES, // Use slaves to read vs FAILOVER_DISTRIBUTE which uses master and slaves
          'context' => [
              'ssl' => [
                  'verify_peer' => true,
                  'verify_peer_name' => true,
              ],
          ],
      ],

      'clusters' => [
          'default' => [
              [
                  'url' => env('STATE_REDIS_URL'),
                  'host' => env('STATE_REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
                  'password' => env('STATE_REDIS_PASSWORD'),
                  'port' => env('STATE_REDIS_PORT', '6379'),
                  'scheme' => env('REDIS_SCHEME', 'tcp'),
              ],
          ],
  ],
