Keycloak is pretty battle-tested and rock solid although it is a bit of a behemoth operationally.

Outside of that they Ory ecosystem is really nice. We user Hydra, which is not a drop-in Oauth2 server but requires you to write several of the components yourself.

"Keycloak is pretty battle-tested and rock solid although it is a bit of a behemoth operationally."

Just looked. Java, Wildfly, Infinispan, Hibernate + A DB, network multicast if you want a cluster, your own separate load balancer, etc. So, a fairly large time investment if you aren't familiar with all of that.

Yeah, it's not the easiest thing in the world to get up and running but not quite as hard as it might seem at first look. If you are already using k8s then you can use https://github.com/codecentric/helm-charts/tree/master/chart... to deploy Keycloak fairly easily. If you're not using k8s then it is probably more of an undertaking.
