As far as I know, there hasn't been any recent discussion of the I-PACE on the InsideEVs forums. Here's a WhatCar? thread about the Jaguar EV's problems. Last year, CarScoops wrote Jaguar had to buy back nearly 3,000 I-PACE cars from US owners.
In 2019, the car was named World Car of the Year; if you can keep your I-PACE running, you will have a very nice and rare collector's car. You should consult with a local Jaguar dealer to determine what recall updates your I-PACE might be eligible for.
LG had a manufacturing issue at that time:
From the CarScoops article "Battery-related problems have plagued the I-Pace for several years. The batteries, sourced from LG, are said to be prone to thermal overload and can catch fire."
I would have expected LG to replace the packs with updated ones as they did for Bolt and Kona EVs.
As @insightman wrote above, the best approach would be to contact Jaguar and try to get the ball rolling on a warranty replacement.
Not likely to happen or there would have been a pack replacement campaign already (not a buyback).
