Most other languages agree that checked exceptions are not good by not having them. As for alternatives, Try/Result and similar monads have decent adoption even in Java, but personally I quite like the Kotlin philosophy [1] to not have generic error containers and either use runtime exceptions for errors that cannot be reasonably handled by the caller and encapsulate failures in the return type if they can.
