Requiring build systems to update their java version often brings some

run Tycho with Java 17, 18, ... whatever they like already.

Things like Switch expressions, records, text blocks... and many other features are IMO very interesting in term of productivity and code quality and then long term maintenance cost, and I personally won't wait long before using them everywhere possible, including Tycho!
