OpenJDK 8 will be kept in Buster but it should be used in exceptional
cases (for example the lombok package requires both OpenJDK 8 and 11 to
build). The default Java runtime for Buster is OpenJDK 11 and the
packages have to work properly with it.

@Petri: Thank you for fixing the OpenJDK 11 issues. I suggest ignoring
the JDK 9 and 10 issues since these versions are now EOL. The general
consensus in the Java community is to support only the LTS releases
(Java 8, 11, 17, etc).
