> already uses a pooling scheduler

A bounded pooling scheduler. (The ForkJoinPool.commonPool.)

Loom, I believe, "dummies out" the ForkJoinPool.commonPool — ForkJoinTasks/CompletableFutures/etc. by default just execute on Loom's unbounded virtual-thread executor.

(Which happens to be built on top of a ForkJoinPool, because it's a good scheduler. Don't fix what ain't broke.)
