I wouldn't have a problem with bumping the minimum java version for the starter to the minimum LTS OpenJDK version that is still receiving active support (currently version 11). It looks like active support for OpenJDK 8 ended over a year ago and it now receives only security related fixes. Also, Oak 1.50.0 now requires java 11 so we can't use the latest production release of oak with java 8.
