Fortunately very few companies of any size use jdk9+

Unfortunately you're wrong. While some companies haven't yet made the leap from 8 to 11, most have. You'll find that Java 8 support is being deprecated if not outright removed across the JVM ecosystem.
Can you point me to surveys to back up this claim? I interview lots of people from lots of companies, no one is using anything above java 8. Sure this evidence is anecdotal, but i've probably got evidence from around 150 companies.
Nothing I can share, sorry.
I would say fortunately.

Oracle premier support for JDK 8 ends today.
