Since Scala Steward is an app and not a library to be used in "enterprise" app, perhaps we can drop Java 8 soon.
This makes maintenance a bit easier.

We can un-pin logback-classic updates when dropping Java 8. #2745 (comment)

Newer scalacache-caffeine also dropped Java 8. #2340

Unfortunately, there is scala-steward-mill-plugin.
So dropping Java 8 might affect Mill users who uses Java 8.

I dug histories and now understood that mill-plugins is used by Scala Steward to extract version info from mill project.
So dropping Java 8 does not affect mill users, IIUC.
