Overall, good, but I quibble in favor of Kotlin with a couple of points:

> Building large teams (think hundreds or thousands of developers) requires talent, and talent is easier to find if more people know the language (although, if you want the absolute best people, you might be better off choosing a more niche language).

It's very easy to hire good Java devs and crosstrain them to Kotlin.

> Java also arguably has the best tooling in the business. I'd argue that IntelliJ IDEA (and family) is the best IDE out there, more so if you are coding Java. Even if you prefer VS Code, Java is well supported.

Jetbrains of course make Kotlin also, and theoretically their Kotlin IDE support will be better than Java's once they complete the mainlining of the Kotlin plugin into the IDE code base. (Right now the Kotlin plugin has recurrent stability issues.)
