Hello Vincent, It depends on your future Strategy. Cocoon is very flexible. We've been running Cocoon 3.0-beta in production with Tomcat9/10, Quarkus and even Kubernetes 1.20 etc. No problems at all :) with Java 8 :) We cannot switch to Java 11, because it's not compatible with Cocoon libraries anymore :( That's the only obstacle. Maybe someone could "update" cocoon stack to use Java 11 LTS JVM? Or now 17 LTS? :)
As long as it does its job, Cocoon is fine! Although the amount of pipelines that are still in use in our Cocoon deployments decreased in time. We switched to Vue.js framework as frontend and Spring-Boot 2 as backend technologies, all running on Kubernetes multi-clusters. Both Vue and Spring-Boot 2 are very lightweight and suit our needs better (to build Web-Portals) than Cocoon. Even though we still use Cocoon for some integration stuff and fast proxy/gateway to many "old" services or database access.
