> Kotlin data classes can be used with the JPA contrary to Java records.

Arguably this is more of an issue of JPA than an strict advantage of Kotlin: JPA was designed at a time where the general consensus was to primarily use mutable data, and was heavily influenced not only by existing Java ORM APIs, but by their implementations.

Kotlin itself supports JPA by the use of a compiler plugin, which is a good enough solution, but nevertheless, not one native to the language. Data classes mostly work by accident, but pretty much any documentation you will find points it to _not_ use them with JPA.
