I'm considering Keycloak myself because it's trusted by security professionals (I think it's a RedHat project), whereas Authentik is basically a passion project.

I hear keycloak has quarkus builds as well these days which should be much slimmer than how it used to be built.

I hadn't heard of it, and looking into quarkus just reminded me of how complicated the whole Java ecosystem is. Gross.

Hosting Go, Rust, etc stuff is dead simple, but with Java, there's all this complexity...

Nothing's as bad as trying to host and maintain a Ruby on Rails app :)

Docker has made a lot of it a non-issue though, since the apps are already preconfigured within the Docker image.

Agreed, with the clear exception being PHP, which often requires configuring a web server.
