Yes, the Debian/Ubuntu version of Gradle 4.4.1 was fixed to also work
with OpenJDK 11 besides OpenJDK 8.

Note this is not an option for headless machines (build servers). And
also not for about half of Android devs who use Eclipse or IntelliJ (as
those don't come bundled with a JDK).
Yesterday I heard Ubuntu 19.10 will ship with OpenJDK 8, 11 and 13. I
think it makes sense to have a (limited) amount of versions to pick
from, just like with Python 2, 3 and 3.7 or GCC 8/9.
