Perhaps I read too much into the description of "The tomcat JDBC

TheJDBC Connection Pool|org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool|is a replacement

I reacted to the "replacement" bit. Are both equally sound, supported,
surviving?
Yes. I can't speak for jdbc-pool, but it looks like it is being
actively maintained.
We really need to change the language on that page. It should really say
something like "Back in the day, the Tomcat team (in retrospect)
overreacted to the limitations of DBCP and decided to build a new
high-performance pool. These days, the newer DBCP2 is great, and
jdbc-pool also exists. They are two reasonably equivalent ways to solve
the same problem. The default is DBCP and it's fine. Switching to
jdbc-pool is also fine; it does have a few minor features that you can't
(currently) get from jdbc-pool, and you will know right away if you
actually need them."
The tomcat website text has never been
updated to reflect this.
Sorry about that. The current text says "Note that this does not apply
to Commons DBCP 2.x." in a few places. It's obviously very partisan when
it doesn't need to be.
