Also the “shade” plugin does not work on JDK 15. I read JDK 16 has some new methods for using off heap memory. Is there a plan to move to a modern JDK? Is off heap even necessary now that ZGC can handle 16TB of heap with little to no pause time?

We plan to deprecate support for Java 8 and support newer JDKs. We still need off heap but we can definitely benefit from ZGC
