I have really enjoyed Scala for the same reasons. Has some escape hatches if needed, and a large ecosystem.

sbt drives me insane though, and is probably my least favorite part of the development experience.

Opposite experience with sbt here. It’s been much more useful than Maven or Gradle. Only fewer plug-ins than Gradle.

I share the hateful sentiment. Too much magic and mystery in sbt for me
