>I haven’t been paid to work with Spring since 2013, every project I’ve worked on since has used Guice, maybe Dropwizard.

This is the opposite of my experience. I worked with Java a lot for the last 10 years or so. In the last 3 years literally each request I got for implementing stuff in Java also required Spring (Spring Boot) - and that was dozens of clients.
