For whatever it might be worth... I just went through a possibly similar exercise, getting my 2.11 GWT-RPC-based app to run with Tomcat 10. I had to run around my codebase and replace 'javax' with 'jakarta', but the last key step was ensuring that my GWTRPC services inherited from this class: com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.*jakarta*.RemoteServiceServlet
Note the .jakarta. in there, which otherwise is not present (in javax form) in the older/other class hierarchy -- a different package entirely. Also note, my project is not using 'validation-api.jar' directly (not sure about indirectly), so I can't promise the above will help -- sorry.
