If the concern is regarding packaging, would it be worthwhile switching the images to drag in something like a AdoptOpenJDK archive and use that instead? (Presumably would need to create symlinks etc. for binaries). I took a look at the CentOS OpenJDK11 package and it was hard to tell how up-to-date it was given it seems to be from November 2018 but AdoptOpenJDK has a build from late January.
