  You could implement the ajax option as a function per ajax, the function could make its own ajax calls internally and then 'normalise' the data root element before passing it to the callback.
  Remove dataSrc option, assume data default.

  "ajax": function (data, callback, settings) {
      $.ajax({ ... your ajax call ... })
      .then(function(data) {
          // normalise data,
          var root;
  
          if(shouldBeFilterRoot) {
              root = 'filter';
          }
          else if(shouldBeSomethingElseRoot) {
              root = 'somethingElse';
          }
  
          callback({data: data[root]});
     });
  }

  Thats a good idea @rduncecb , I did get a work around where i made the initialisaztion a function and passed in the dataSrc id like to look at. I then added the Destroy parameter to the initialisation and on cahnge i call that function to create the dataTable. This seems to work, though it is probably a clunky way to do it.

  Still open to other options if they exists.

  ajax.dataSrc can be a function, you could also normalise it there instead?

  Yes - using ajax.dataSrc to do this would be my suggestion as well. Have the function derive the data array from the source wherever it might be and then return it.
