I don't think, we should now switch to Java 11 as minimum version yet. I'd 
propose to do this after release of Lucene 8 (once branch_8x is created) and 
only do that in the master branch. Of course, we can leave out Java 9 and 10 
and jump to 11.

But interestingly: Java 9 and Java 10 are as stable as Java 8 (approx same 
number of failures). Java 11 caused many more failures in Solr because of some 
changes in TLS infrastructure (Java's support for TLS 1.3). We may need to work 
on those problems.

See above, 9 and 10 are as satbel as 8, it's Java 11 and 12 that cause more 
noise (of course this does not count crashes in some JVM versions).
