I guess that's a matter of opinion, but I would vote yes.

IMHO we should backport as many of the other bug fixes in this same area (e.g., `javac-pre-capture` issues) as we can reasonably include. But first it's probably worth stopping to discuss what the overall strategy should be here.

There are several related patches for the `javac-pre-capture` issues, most of which are not committed to 24 yet, so depending on which fixes are intended to backport into 23 we need to plan what order they should be committed into 24.

For example, should your big lambda refactoring eventually be backported? If not, then what about PR #19705? Etc.
