No, I didn't experience any problems with the module system. At the moment, I have no intention to use the module path since Gradle multi-project builds in combination with the java-library plug-in seemed to be more suitable for our use-case. So all the libraries are still on the classpath. I guess this circumvents all problems with the JPMS.

Given that Java 9 was released September 2017, I assume that all common, actively developed frameworks and libraries have a solution for API calls which are not allowed anymore. Did you hear of any concrete problem with Hibernate, apart from adding the libraries javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api and org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime which are not part of the JDK anymore?
