Well yeah, ever sinceIn all fairness, considering the number of breaking changes and bugs Oracle seems to be introducing (in some cases UI rendering breaks when going between minor versions of Java, which is completely unacceptable), Inno sticking with a known-good version is actually a really good idea.
I've looked at the UI code for LT and nothing that Inno's doing should be causing any of the bizarre issues people are having to manifest. That's just down to Oracle being a garbage company. It's worth noting that the OpenJFX project (which was created after they split JavaFX out of mainline Java and is wholly separate from Oracle's "efforts") does not have these random rendering and stability issues.
At this point replacing or supplementing the JAR version with detailed build instructions might not be a terrible idea. Hell, with the correct Maven settings you can get LT to run better than it can with Oracle Java 8, and on more platforms (such as native macOS/aarch64, which doesn't seem to be supported on any OpenJFX version below 17.0.2).
