Verbosity is not a problem in large code bases. Speed of understanding and debugging of what somebody else wrote is.
So, less magic is better. I will take Java codebase over Scala or Python every time, unless it is a toy script which is 100 lines

AOP sucks because it is paaaain to debug, proxies are magic. There is Dagger that solve some stuff

Take a look at a http server one in Java and one in C. Readability difference is crazy.
My company is in transition from Java to C, for bunch of stuff just for performance reasons. So, I debug similar projects time to time both in Java and C, http server, in memory cache, iot server etc. After seeing both, I just think although Java has great tooling, it drives developers to write unreadable code.
