Using Lombok ends up being just as much effort as using a different JVM language, and the rewards are smaller.

The learning curve is way less steep, and you can introduce it into an existing project with zero impedance mismatch.

Yes, but in teams where there is no hope of switching to another JVM language like Kotlin, Lombok can reduce boilerplate by enormous amounts.
It's a compromise.

Lombok is really not that complex and it not close to using a different language.

I would try out Immutables before Lombok. It generates code using the standard annotation processor instead of modifying OpenJDK's AST tree.
