Aren't a lot of those Java employers stuck on an old version of the language, one that's lacking most of those nice features?

less and less, with the new release cycles.

What you get is either really old (Java 8 stuck on something nasty like weblogic).

Or companies running either cutting edge or LTS.

A lot are, but there is an equal amount that are of modern versions. It’s a big landscape of employers. I’ve already begun moving my team to Java 25 from 21.
