Best POM for Google Spanner and Dataflow

Question

I've been getting bizarre ClassNotFound errors in this io.grpc library, strange timeout errors, etc. Plus I saw on an old document there's a need to enforce the minimum version. I've tried building a pom.xml file by running it and adding a library whenever the Google artifact doesn't bring in enough but requires something else. It's becoming unwieldy and brittle. This is my current POM. Please suggest a minimal way, such as using that of some Google BOM. I assume I need the latest GCP version. I'm using Java 17.

Key things I need are, GCP Spanner tables, and GCP dataflow:
