> The newer open versions still don't match Oracle JDK 8
I'm currently working on a web service that was written under Java 8.
For giggles, I just ran the end-to-end tests suite under Java 8, 11, and 13. The only error I got was an incompatibility with Google's Error Prone linter, which I was able to fix with one line change.
This represents a few hundred thousand lines of production code that works just fine under every important JDK in use today.

The problem isn't usually with the runtime itself, but with all the ecosystem and tools around it. This becomes very apparent when venturing beyond web services and you start depending on those tools.
