Yes, but not there. Don't use Oracle Java. That article only applies to Oracle Java. I personally would not recommend anyone relying any Oracle owned software (e.g. even Graal) but have no problem recommending community owned software like the JDK/JVM. Of course it's just a recommendation, sometimes we don't always have a choice.

My concerns with Oracle stewardship is more about their business practices concerning the trademark, (lack of) distribution of the TCK, treatment of alternative impls, litigation concerning perceived misuse, installer software bundling, etc.

No, as it has given a lot to the Java community since Java 6, when no other company bothered to actually acquire Java.
