Here's me wondering how many more years will pass before the Wayland support is going GA.

  If applets and web start are dead, and Wayland doesn’t render remotely, how would this work? Would a Java app server have to ask the user to run something on the desktop?

    There are java desktop applications, e.g. IntelliJ, SQLDeveloper, etc.

      IntelliJ is one of the few GUI apps on my work laptop, but my company is encouraging everyone to use JetBrains Gateway with a remote server farm instead (which sort of seems like a browser DOM only for their IDEs). When a backend needs an internal UI here, it's always a Javascript app in a browser.

        Desktop apps are a niche, but a well-needed niche. Plus it’s not like there isn’t already a huge amount of Java desktop apps, and those are all running in X instead of Wayland.
