Description
When upgrading our project from Java 8 to Java 11 we ran into the following failure in our integration testing.
java.util.ConcurrentModificationException

This ticket is intentionally named very much like
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-hateoas/issues/1155
since I believe the issue is the same.
It appears that DummyInvocationUtils cache isn't thread safe:
private static final ThreadLocal<Map<CacheKey<?>, Object>> CACHE = ThreadLocal.withInitial(HashMap::new);

Research direction
Start at DummyInvocationUtils.methodOn, identified at line 132 in the stack trace, and inspect the static ThreadLocal HashMap cache and its CacheKey usage. Reproduce the concurrent integration-test failure described in the issue, then verify that concurrent calls no longer raise ConcurrentModificationException while existing methodOn behavior remains unchanged.
