We already have two OpenJDK version (17 and 21) in bookworm.

Everything should be fine if:
- default-jre* is always the first alternative in the dependencies, and
- everything requiring > 8 depends on a java*-runtime* >= java9-runtime*

I'm not expecting these things to be 100% bug-free, but such things 
would already blow up today when someone still has a JRE from an older 
release installed (e.g. I was for some time using the security-supported 
openjdk-8/stretch on buster for a usecase where OpenJDK 11 did not work).
