With
(1) a lot of Java backend projects migrating to Kotlin (let's be negative and assume 20%);
(2) all of Android running Kotlin, which is around 80% of the world's mobile phones;
(3) the world's best IDE authors building features and improving Kotlin;
(4) the language being almost 13 years old at this point; and
(5) Kotlin being 100% compatible with Java in both directions,
I wonder what additional maturity would you be looking for. Can you point to a specific problem?
