The methods of distributing the bootstrapper may be able to be replaced with jpackage. As far as I know, jpackage will not be an incubating feature in Java 17 meaning that in production you will likely need Java 17 to use jpackage. It became an incubating feature in Java 14.

To make it a simple EXE file instead of a folder that you would need to unzip, you could create an SFX archive with WinRAR.

Yes, jpackage and jmods are an interesting feature that might help with app distribution, since it allows you to bundle the required bits of the JRE with the app and create installable app images. I am looking into this already but it will probably take a while to actually be implemented.
