I'll put a second vote for Spring Boot. You're right that when the magic fails it can get a little complicated. However, I've found Spring documentation to be very good. Also, once you understand a little of how it's put together it becomes pretty easy to selectively replace whatever piece of the magic with your own custom version.

I know but I'm not sure I want to do it every time the magic breaks. In clojure for example I only have to dig into compojure and ring 4-5 layers deep involving 20 files. With spring with all the reflection, indirection (annotation processing) and such it is common to have a call stack 30-40 levels deep. Much more time consuming to debug imho.
