Do you expect any problems if we just switched to Java 8/Servlet 3.1 without modifying anything else?
Yep. Lots of people and companies that won't or can't upgrade to a Java version which was just released, at least not in the near future. Not to mention that Java 8-only features will be only actually known and used by most people in the not near future. Unless we start using Java 8-only features in Tapestry, there's no reason IMHO to make such a long jump. The Tapestry image still has some problems with radical changes.
I agree with Kalle: "A common sense approach would be to require 1.6 for T5.4 and then require 1.8 in a future version."
There's also another possibility: when we do actually use Java 8-only stuff, for some time, to do it on a branch and release trunk as tapestry-core without Maven/Gradle qualifiers and this branch with a "-java8" qualifier.
