If you upgrade, jump directly to Java 11. That may or may not be easy. But it was easy for me.

After that there was no effort to upgrade to all subsequent versions, to this point.

If one is using OpenJDK is there any reason not to track the versions > 11 as they come out, short of the usual reticence to upgrading?
Each upgrade after 11 has had good reasons to upgrade.

More and more Java source language features that make your life easier by small incremental bits in each upgrade.
