Thanks Dominik. I changed the poi-ooxml gradle file for JDK8 to use MarlinRenderingEngine in tests. I think that helped a little. The builds seemed to hang in random places before.
The remaining issue appears to be the poi-integration tests. I disabled them for JDK8 (again in the gradle file for that subdir). The CI builds are now clean. If someone wants to experiment and find which file(s) is causing the poi-integration JDK8 test issues, feel free to do so. The key thing is that poi-integration tests run ok on newer JDKs so we have coverage.
