Access HAL+JSON resources using RestTemplate from RestTemplateBuilder

I'm using Spring 5.1.8, Spring Boot 2.1.6, and Spring HATEOAS 0.25.1.

I want to construct the RestTemplate in the using @Component by injecting RestTemplateBuilder.
This seems to be the recommended way and allows different components to define their own error handling instead of sharing it across components.

ConverterRegisteringBeanPostProcessor configures any RestTemplate bean in the application context (using ConverterRegisteringWebMvcConfigurer), but it doesn't affect RestTemplateBuilder.
For that I have to define the following RestTemplateCustomizer (based on this comment):

@Configuration
@EnableHypermediaSupport(type = HAL)
class HalConfiguration {
    @Bean
    RestTemplateCustomizer halRestTemplateCustomizer(ConverterRegisteringWebMvcConfigurer configurer) {
        return template -> configurer.extendMessageConverters(template.getMessageConverters());
    }
}

It seems to me that (something like) this would make sense to include in spring-hateoas.
Alternatively, it would be nice if there were an easier way to access or inject hypermedia-enabled HttpMessageConverters.

Start by reading ConverterRegisteringBeanPostProcessor and ConverterRegisteringWebMvcConfigurer, then compare how RestTemplateBuilder creates templates and how RestTemplateCustomizer is applied. Determine how hypermedia-enabled HttpMessageConverters should reach builder-created RestTemplate instances, and verify that the existing customizer workaround is no longer required.
