In ~3 weeks, I found 10 bugs in the reflection-free Jackson serdes feature in #Quarkus, which will be *on* by default in 3.35 coming out _next week_ (see https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/pull/53161 and linked issues).

I don't know if I can find more bugs but I think all Quarkus users should try and report them.

To be clear, IMO, this feature is great. It is also quite difficult to get right, due to the huge Jackson API and myriad of ways to use it.

We need to pitch in to help stabilise this.
