For development speed and code maintenance, this is ideal. Your team only needs to master one language and its set of tools and libraries.

You are pinioned by this choice on some practical levels. Mainly, some users and use cases demand the speed and lightweight user-experience of native apps. The native-vs-[java] experience is typically quite noticeable on all the platforms you've mentioned -- desktop, web, and mobile.

Right now I am working on the windows desktop app. I can tell you, that you don't notice any difference at all in speed (I also wrote a simple "container" app in native c++, so it is also loading instantly ..there is a ~2 sec delay to load the JVM, but meantime the user already sees the UI)
