I wonder if I should prepare 9.0.86 for Noble, because there is still use for it (Java 8-based applications)?
Regarding safety: according to tomcat version page[1] 9.0.x can be safely ran on Java 8 and up. Hence it safe to run with Java 11.
Though it would violate Debian Java policy to build it with jdk other than default.
I should check if tomcat 9 can be built with 11 in packaging, as the requirement for 17 seems to come from the build dependency binaries, not the code itself.
