I have lots of experience in using Java (Amazon SDE), writing quite a few web services and applications with it, including front end with JSF.
As such I can safely say that anyone that thinks Java is good to use for anything these days, especially with things like Log4Shell, simply doesn't know enough about computer science. Java is a poorly designed language with corporate bullshit throughout, and while it may have been an option in the past given alternatives, is no longer the case.
Python, Rust, C/C++, Golang, and Javascript (and derivatives) cover pretty much every application category in terms of applicability.
