Hello, I don't think this proposal "reduce unintended side effects caused by variable mutations in nested blocks". This massively decreases the readability of code. Your purposed problem can be solved by declaring new non-final local variables in the nested
scopes and making the main local variable final, and there is no proof that your proposed problem actually happens in development. You can search for Static Single-Assignment form for more efficient usages of variables that is both more human and machine friendly.
Also on a side note, Java Language feature discussions usually happen on compiler-dev list.</div>

This modifier allows variables to be mutable exclusively within a limited lexical scope (such as inside if, for, or while blocks) without affecting the variable’s value in the enclosing or global scope.</span></p>
