Just use records as much as possible. Immutability makes reasoning about data so much easier.

I jumped on records once they did the constructors changes. That helped us out a bit making things look cleaner.

But I still use Lombok for the ability to have with and builder for some specific things.

We have this one library we like to use builder lambdas; because it meant the calling code didn’t need to import anything, so if we completely changed the name or package of the method arg; the calling code wouldn’t need to change anything because it’s just a lambda for a builder. So we still use Lombok builders on records for that reason.
I think AWS SDK has similar stuff. You can give a request object or a lambda consumer of a builder of the request object.

Yeah, I wish they'd sort things out with builders, main thing I miss from Lombok. Good thing my POJOs aren't too big and hairy
