Kotlin uses var/val too[0] which is what Java is trying to copy. I have never written any kotlin code before, so I don't know if this would be a problem in practice. On the plus side, var and val both have the same length, so the variable declaractions are properly aligned. The names are also intuitive as far as I can tell.In theory, I'd probably be okay with it.

Not a problem in practice as you use val 99.99% percent of the cases (which shows why immutability should be the default, because most often that is needed) and Idea underlines any mutable references, so the sticks out. It also suggests val when a var is not actually mutated.
