I haven't seen an xml configuration in years beyond some logger configurations. Spring Boot + jOOQ is simple to setup and works. It is my go-to for backend services. You will have to be okay with dependency injection which for some reason people have problems with.

It's important to remember that Java has been around for 20-30 years and it certainly has not stood still. Many of the complaints people have are from Java of 10+ years ago.

Exactly. I spent about 5 years away from Java after J2EE made me swear it off. I learned a bunch of other languages and frameworks and recently went back. Java is awesome now. Unlike 5 years ago is relatively easy to avoid all the clunky old crap if you want to.
