Win32 App Isolation
JVM UI isn't so bad. I've written some pretty modern looking UI with it. The sophisticated controls are all there.
Modern JavaFX theme: https://github.com/mkpaz/atlantafx
Modern Swing theme: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf
And these days Compose Multiplatform: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-multiplatform/
I tend to use Kotlin rather than Java but of course Java is perfectly fine too. You can also use Clojure.
If you use any of those frameworks you can distribute to Win/Mac/Linux in one command with Conveyor. It's free for open source apps and can do self-signing for Windows if you don't want to pay for the certificates or the Store (but the Store is super cheap these days, $19 one off payment for an individual). Also supports Electron and Flutter if you want to use those.
From those frameworks you can then access whatever parts of the Windows API you want. Flutter even has WinRT bindings these days! So it's not quite so bad.

Should programmers avoid drag and drop GUI builders?
And as far as Swing's aesthetics, I only agree with the sentiment that 'it's ugly' if a custom LAF isn't used, like one from flatlaf.

Why was TornadoFX abandoned?
And yet, the Kotlin specific bindings for it have seemingly been abandoned, and have not received any updates in years: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx

What library/framework would you recommend for creating a GUI desktop application?
Hi, at some point in the past I used mvvmFX and it was pretty nice to work with, but sadly it looks abandoned. So does drombler-fx which I remember looking into around that time. There was also tornado-fx (don't mind doing GUI code in Kotlin) but that's unmaintained now too. All that I could find today is Griffon, although that's clearly slowing down as well.

Is TornadoFx should be used in production ?
P.S. Yes, last official release is Java 8. But we all were using the last snapshot of https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/tree/jdk10 published to Sonatype in the last years. Or tornadofx2 linked above.

Design Patterns for multi-screen JavaFX applications
