At least on the Java side you should be covered:
https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/12/10/install-java-rhel8/

I have no idea whether RedHat is packaging a usable Jetty or Tomcat
version, though. (I know the developers may not support those, same as
they didn't with OS-packaged Java until very recently, but getting
security fixes automatically seems worthwhile to me, esp if you're
using those servlet containers as TLS-enbaled web servers, too.)
