Hmm .. the move to Win64, and the fact that very old JVM will not be available
anymore will inevitably mean that extensions will have to be regenerated, so my
guess is the sooner the change, the better.
But the choice are not nice: Lucene8 is also deprecated, current release is
10.x.
FWIW, libreoffice moved to a hacked up C version of older Lucene.

I remember looking into this... the issue was, iirc, something about Lucene8
not being able to read Lucene2 indexes which are used when we install
extensions. For a 4.2.x build that was an issue, but maybe no longer for a
5.0.x release.

Nothing I am planning, but we are carrying obsolete Lucene 2.9.4.
The last Apache Lucene version that works with Java 8 is 8.11.4, which was
released in September 2024.
