Leo, how many integrators are there?
FWIW, there are no more public updates to Java 8. Bluntly, if there are integrators still using and running on Java 8 they probably don't worry about adopting to new Wikitext versions anyway. Integrators worried about Java 8 *and* Wikitext updates should also do have budget for setting up a branch and back porting fixes when needed. They have to pay for Java 8 updates anyway so it's reasonable to assume they can pay for Wikitext updates, tool.
I would recommend processing with updating to Java 11. There is a huge cost saving benefit when reducing dependencies.
