One power of Spring Boot , non-xml based code is using an IDE like intelliJ for refactoring/navigation. XML is hard to refactor/navigate if you're dealing with 1000s of files.

You don't need Spring Boot for that. You can use plain Spring with annotation-based config, no XML needed. And your IDE navigation will work, whereas with Spring Boot it frequently finds the wrong bean definition because of all the dynamic magic (ConditionalOnClasspath, ConditionalOnMissingBean etc.).
