It's been a couple of years since touching GraalVM with Micronaut and Helidon. My biggest pain point was it crashing seemingly randomly when performing analysis which just wasted time so I lost interest. Hopefully that has improved. I found using JLink and CDS was the better compromise between startup performance, developer productivity and reducing image size. I'm using Helidon 4 SE on my current project and no complaints.
