+1 on switching to Java 11 only on main, I'm between a -0 and a -1 on dropping on 2.22.0 too.
Dropping Java 8 support in 2.22.0, as it would give the user base only 6 months before GeoServer stops supporting Java 8 altogether (2.20.x is about to get its last release, 2.21.x will live only up to March 2023). The 2.21.0 release already contained a warning <https://geoserver.org/announcements/2022/05/24/geoserver-2-21-0-released.html>, quoting: "This is likely to be the last release that supports Java 8 and we encourage users to start to make the transition to Java 11 during the lifetime of this branch." The message was too easy to ignore IMHO, I'd prefer to have a 2.22.0 with a title stating in unequivocal terms "This is the last release supporting Java 8, upgrade now".
