> The split from JavaFX inside the JDK to OpenJFX outside of the JDK was a bit messy so a new project takes some time to setup with Maven or Gradle...

That's not necessarily true, you can obtain many JDK distributions that still include JavaFX.

For example, here's the Azul distributions with JavaFX: https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?architecture=...

BellSoft also has a LibericaFX distribution: https://bell-sw.com/pages/supported-configurations/

If you want to easily install and switch between these and other standard JDKs easily from the command line, check out SDKMAN! (https://sdkman.io/). It supports Azul's and BellSoft's distributions with JavaFX, as well as other distributions from GraalVM, java.net, Amazon and AdoptOpenJDK.
