Looks good, but can we not do the behavioral change in `ensureClassInitialized`? There are methods like this in JDK, which could probably be changed wholesale?

src/java.base/share/classes/jdk/internal/access/SharedSecrets.java line 419:

This is a potential behavioral change that has little to do with the issue at hand, right?
