personally i think kotlin is fine, but when compared to modern java, i feel like i need to really see a quantum leap before i'd go all-in if i was running a business (to say nothing of the labor pool for kotlin vs java)

This is the biggest issue, in my opinion. Although, if you have a java developer that really likes the higher order features that are being added, Kotlin might be a very easy switch (after some basic syntax learning).

The nice part is everything you already know about JVM performance still applies within Kotlin. So you're not starting over from square-one like you might assume.
