You don't need to downgrade dependencies, libs are at 8 and 11 right now and support up to 16 (e.g. jackson is I think at Java 7, and supports records from Java 16).

What kind of problem could you identify? Same might happen with LTS release (e.g. I had it in JDK 8, suddenly I wasn't able to use some crypto libs).

Fixes always go first to JDK latest, and then are backported to 11 and 8.
