Description
http4s is now publishing with Temurin installed via Nix. Temurin is what sbt-typelevel uses by default. "jdk8" and "jdk17" are still Zulu in nixpkgs.
Basically, do we want to stick to Typelevel defaults or Nixpkgs defaults here where the twain meet?

Research direction
Start by comparing the current JDK defaults in typelevel-nix with the Temurin setup used by http4s and sbt-typelevel, then review the stated Zulu defaults in nixpkgs. Done means reaching a decision about whether Typelevel or Nixpkgs conventions should win and updating the relevant Nix configuration accordingly.
