I don't have much comment on AppDynamics, as I've never used it. But maybe what your PO is trying to get is something you're missing from the current Prometheus deployment. As you say, you're using probes for most of your monitoring.
What you're missing is instrumenting your java application directly with either the jmx_exporter of Prometheus client_java.
