Description
### Description
Similar to the discussion in https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/11526 for Java 11
Official support for Java 11 by Oracle ended in September 2023, but a number of open jdk versions still provide support.
I'd like to explore making this a requirement for Selenium 5.
We should first implement #16731 to get a better idea of how much of an impact it would have.
### Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?
We can keep supporting Java 11
