Huh? None of that will be in 2.12 except unification, and that's already planned for backporting to 2.11 (and you can just use the compiler plugin until then).

How are you going to be stuck? You might need to stay on 2.11 a bit longer until Google gets their shit together. Most likely this will be during 2.12. Sure, you might miss the first few minor releases of 2.12 ... but stuck?

Where are you getting this confidence that Google will "get their shit together" quickly, or ever? I can easily imagine Google not shipping Java 8 for as long as Oracle remains in business.
