Introducing Siphon - *another* REST API for your Minecraft server!
I submit to you this strange creation, which is the product of a 72-hour caffeine-fueled frenzy. Siphon aims to be an elegant way to access your Minecraft server via HTTP, allowing you to create full-featured integrations in any language of your choosing.

PaperMC vs Glowstone, which is better?
Assuming you mean this Glowstone, you'll see they themselves acknowledge that "it is not ready for survival".

Minecraft: Java Edition 1.19.1 Is Out
It's definitely not a realistic replacement for modded Minecraft in general, since that's really hundereds of games and Mineclone only aims to replace Minecraft itself. For modded, I'm not sure what the answer is. Even most third party clients/servers that are compatible with vanilla Minecraft don't support Forge mods. Stevenarella might support Forge to some extent, but I'm not sure how it works since Forge is written in Java and Stevenarella is written in Rust. I'm not aware of any third party servers that support Forge in any capacity, but Glowstone (which actually seems like a pretty good third party server by the way) does support Bukkit plugins.

Setting up Minecraft hosting for 300+ players
Also to add to this, if you don't need full vanilla functionality and are more focus on higher player count than something slightly more experimental but more performant might be your best bet like GlowstoneMC (glowstone supports paper plugins) or Minestrom

Is it possible to write a Minecraft server in a language OTHER than Java?
You could. Glowstone is a Minecraft server written in Java (without any of Mojang's code) but it is still not feature complete from what I heard, so things are missing. When I tried it, it seemed pretty solid and fast though.

The Problem with Gradle
I forked a project [1] in 2015 to remove Gradle, and it then quickly subsumed the original project, remaining under active development to this day.
There were other reasons, but de-gradling was one of the main motivations for my fork, and among the first of the major changes I made. The project is an implementation of an API which was discontinued by the original developers, but initially was built using Maven.
After switching from Gradle (which the project switched to in 2014) back to Maven, build times significantly decreased and development became much more pleasant. I found Gradle to be like a speed bump slowing down development, and reverting back to Maven was like a breath of fresh air. Simple, straightforward, and fast. Maven may not be perfect, but it does the job well.
