It looks like this bug was fixed in GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo#665. We should update our fork and see if this fixes things on EKS.

The workaround is to uncomment all of the DISABLE_* env vars in https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie/blob/main/demos/online-boutique/online-boutique.yaml, then apply the file manually:

# Delete existing demo app
px demo delete px-online-boutique

# Manually deploy modified demo yaml
kubectl create ns px-online-boutique
kubectl apply -f online-boutique.yaml -n px-online-boutique

This was tested on EKS and it does resolve the issue.
