I've recently had to patch a site built on Spring Boot. Coming from Django, it's a disaster. Spring Boot basically attempts to turn Java from its statically compiled origins to an annotation-ladled mess full of runtime reflections and compiler pluginitis. If you're doing that, why not just go the whole hog and use an actually dynamic language and a framework that plays up the language's strengths instead of working _around_ it?
