A basic functionality missing in open-source build doesn't mean it is far away. We were trying to get it ready by this quarter but it didn't work out as I explained earlier. For 'pure' J2CL experience, we have chosen bazel. Bazel works/scales pretty well and same as our internal setup which makes it much easier to maintain as well. Keep in mind J2CL != GWT 3. A bunch of contributors are already working on GWT/Maven/Gradle support on top of that so you are not be forced to use bazel.
