I suspect the proportion of Java programmers who like checked exceptions even in principle is decreasing over time unfortunately. So waiting might just result in it never being implemented :/ (although I guess that's probably a point in favor of waiting and never expending the wasted energy).
Just looking at the developments of past decade the community seems to be going hard for all exceptions being unchecked. Other statically typed JVM languages (Scala and Kotlin) advertise a lack of checked exceptions as an improvement over Java. Various Java plugins also tout the ability to remove checked exceptions. Manifold is particularly exuberant about it. Lombok offers this capability but is much more reserved about it, in no small part because the way it does so has pretty big downsides.
It's a bit sad (from my tiny personal perspective) because checked exceptions in Java have some ergonomic benefits over Result/Either types in other languages, but social dynamics are what they are.
