SOLR-14974 is about a contrib, the clustering contrib in particular. That contrib is a plugin, and it will eventually be "packaged" -- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14688 which will ultimately mean that someone running on Solr 8 that is also using Java 11 can install that package when it's eventually released (when 9.0 is released, or thereafter). So I don't think we should change Solr core / SolrJ 's minimum Java requirements just because of the needs of a contrib. I think that's solved by the package system.
