Which JDK version for Xamarin.Android? Microsoft's Mobile OpenJDK Distribution for Production?

I have been using JDK 8 but recently installed VS22 and found out that automatically Microsoft sets the JDK path as their Own build Jdk. According to the documentation I cannot see any warning for "not production ready". But article from June 2021 sugegests that it is still not production ready. So not sure if we can safly use this Build. Any experience or problems? Regarding the versions there is 11 and 17 versions? can we use version 17 or we should use v11?

enter image description here

And more important question? how do we update it? does Microsoft updates to newer Jdk version with each VS update?

As this document says:

Microsoft Build of OpenJDK binaries may contain backported fixes and enhancements we deem important to our customers and our internal users. Some of these may have not yet been formally backported upstream and are clearly signposted in our release notes. This allows us to expedite improvements and fixes while we proceed to upstream those changes in parallel. Updates will be free and available to every Java developer to deploy anywhere.

Also there is a tutorial about Transition from Java 8 to Java 11:
