Description
This is triggered by https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-relational/issues/1194
The registration of simple types from reading converters was explicitly removed as part of https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-mongodb/issues/1203
If we reintroduce it now, we need to make sure all modules work properly with that change.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Spring Data Relational and Spring Data MongoDB issues, then inspect how reading converters and simple types are registered across the Spring Data Commons modules. Determine whether registering converter target types can be safely reintroduced, and verify that all modules continue to work correctly before considering the investigation complete.
