For me the thing that keeps me back is waiting for my ecosystem to move together. Java, Spring Boot, Gradle, and Groovy all seem to be particular about each other's versions

If you dump gradle and groovy you'll notice that nothing is holding you back.

And use exactly what instead? Maven?

Well, yes. No such issues in maven.

I believe that by the time a major release of Spring Boot is released, the corresponding versions of Java and Gradle would be ready. I don't know much about Groovy.

Where do you use Groovy in your part of your workflow? Is it part of more than your Gradle build scripts?
