I've also tried several gradle plugins as you suggest (from the simple gradle jar, to a custom fatjar, to the badass plugin) and everything works properly while I'm on Manjaro Linux with OpenJDK-11. The problem though is that if I try to distribute the application to Windows, says to the friends of mine, they are still using JRE8 while I'm targeting JVM11...
An alternative: jetpack compose is the new UI library being developed for Android and there is also a desktop version of it. We expect a massive adoption and community support.
I'm doing a couple projects in that stack right now and I've found the jpackage tool to be pretty ok, you just need to be using JDK14+. To that end I actually ended up writing my own gradle plugin to manage everything in one place, especially for use in a CI/CD pipeline and do deal with all the codesigning requirements for mac. It's still very new and untested, but here is the repo with how to use it. Hopefully it will help somewhat.
