Thanks for the additional info. I had meant to look it up and add it
prior to sending it out, but hit "send" too soon.
My preference would be Option 1: change the minimum to macOS 11.0 in
JavaFX 21.
If there are some significant concerns over doing that, we could go with
Option 2 as a fallback: change the minimum to 10.14 in 21 and to 11.0 in 22.

So no one else has to look this up:
The last security update for macOS 10.12 was in September of 2019. It was
released in 2016.
The last security update for macOS 10.14 was in July of 2021. It was released
in 2018.
macOS 11.0 was released in November of 2020. Support is likely to end this year.
11.0 could be installed on MacBooks from 2013 and desktops from 2014 (with some
exceptions). If there’s a Mac out there that just can’t upgrade to 11.0 that
machine is getting a little long in the tooth. FWIW I’m using an iMac from late
2017 and running the latest OS just fine.
I think ditching 10.x is the right move.
