IMHO the learning curve for Java and all the libraries you have to know and understand to make it at all useful far outweighs its presumptive establishment in the z/OS ecosystem.
You really don't have to learn a lot of libraries to use Java. Basic I/O and Java collections will get you a very long way.
There are a lot of libraries, but they are there because they are (hopefully) easier than writing something yourself. You don't need to learn them until you actually need that function, and then you can make your choice whether to use an existing library or write your own.
