In response to:
"DI, in the sense of separating the instantiation of long-lived service objects from the classes containing business logic that accesses those long-lived service objects, is a great thing for testability and maintainability."
You don't need a DI framework to do any of what you described. Also, I believe that what you are saying doesn't fundamentally describe DI, though it is related. In this post I go over what DI really means: https://sreque.blogspot.com/2019/09/dependency-injection-101...
I have never seen a case where using autowiring forms a legitimate tradeoff; it has always resulted in worse, harder-to-maintain code with little benefit in return.
I conflate Spring with Spring Boot because Spring Boot is built on Spring and most of my problems with Spring Boot apply equally to Spring.
