I know that Java 8 is LTS.  I'm unable to find anything concrete regarding EOL
for OpenJDK 8.

"OpenJDK 8u242

    Thursday, August 29th 2019: jdk8u-dev forest open (tag: jdk8u242-b00)"
from https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/jdk8u/Main

As for Oracle JDK, "Oracle will continue to provide free public updates and
auto updates of Java SE 8, until at least the end of December 2020 for
Personal, Development and other Users.  ... As of the April 16, 2019 quarterly
critical patch update, Oracle Customers should access updates to Java SE 8 for
commercial use from Oracle through My Oracle Support and via auto update where
applicable."
from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/java-se-support-roadmap.html

It appears the cut off date available to public for both is likely end of 2020.
 Which is about 18 more months.  While default version 11 is my recommendation,
it's easy for the maintainer to change it 1.8 in one line.

>From 8 to 11, the following features/functionalities were removed/deprecated
that may break certain functionalities:
9) JavaDB (aka Apache Derby)
10) javah tool
11) JavaFX, JavaEE, Corba removed from JDK
    Depecrated Nashorn JavaScript engine

IMO, I think it's worthwhile upgrade for TLS 1.3 in addition to other GC
improvements.
