Last I heard (JLS 2016 keynote by Brian Goetz) they have yet to commit/guarantee when value types will land. Java 10 is planned; if they're completed by then we're looking at probably 2020 given the delays with Java 9 release.
That's 3 years for other languages/platforms to evolve while the JVM unboxes itself.
