Java is essentially open source enough that you can ignore oracle. All the development of java happen in openjdk, of which oracle is a contributor (along with red hat and many others).

  Everywhere I’ve worked has used Eclipse Temurin or another open source release: the Oracle JVM isn’t used all that often because of license issues.

    Ditto. Even things like Java flight recorder are open source now and work with any JDK distribution.
