There are a number of Java-based software systems that we need to interoperate with that are still using Java 8, and their compatibility with newer JVMs than Java 8 is unknown.
One example of such is Apache Drill. So as much as I'd like to suggest migration from Java 8 to new, and possibly more secure and faster Java JVMs I think we need to maintain Java 8 compatibility for a good while still. We should probably make a ticket for any Java 11 requirements that have crept in, to revise back down to Java 8 compatibility. Thoughts?
