Wasn't used and AFAIK is considered a bad practice because makes the build less deterministic

Yes, that should rather not be on the Gradle file.

As a bonus, you should be able to use latest version to compile the project, there is no reason to stick to an old java for the build 🤷

I tested that you could even do 1.8, but it is deprecated to compile for java 8 with latest java versions 🤷
Java compiler version 21 has deprecated support for compiling with source/target version 8.
Try one of the following options:
1. [Recommended] Use Java toolchain with a lower language version
2. Set a higher source/target version
3. Use a lower version of the JDK running the build (if you're not using Java toolchain)
For more details on how to configure these settings, see https://developer.android.com/build/jdks.
To suppress this warning, set android.javaCompile.suppressSourceTargetDeprecationWarning=true in gradle.properties.
warning: [options] source value 8 is obsolete and will be removed in a future release
warning: [options] target value 8 is obsolete and will be removed in a future release
warning: [options] To suppress warnings about obsolete options, use -Xlint:-options.
Targeting java 11 is still a behavior change but will work for my project since, but from what I've seen a lot of projects still target java 1.8 🤷

Can we try with Java 1.8 instead? A deprecation is the code is fine, we can keep it in mind for upcoming version bumps.

Done ✅
Tested it compiles fine on both Java 21 and 17. javap -v confirms published classes target Java 8:
