Yes, thank you for doing so.

It might not be acceptable for all users, yes.  It may be acceptable for you.

Here's a summary of this issue as I understand it:

1. jdtls's support for custom formatters can be achieved by passing suitable
   LSP :initializationOptions

2. According to you, jtdls's support for custom formatters _cannot_
   be achieved with LSP workspaceConfiguration.  It _has_ to use 1.

3. In jdtls, a blank LSP workspaceConfiguration request overwrites any
   settings passed in LSP initializationOptions.  This was confirmed
   by more than one user, I think.

2 and 3 dictate that, barring any changes on the jdtls side, the only
way to use custom formatters in Eglot is for Eglot to not send
LSP workspaceConfiguration to this server at all.  Has jdtls been made
aware of this conflict between 2 and 3?

You may also want to try the less intrusive:

(add-hook 'java-mode-hook (lambda ()
   (remove-hook 'eglot-connect-hook 'eglot-signal-didChangeConfiguration t))

To do it just for java-mode.  If you're using java-ts-mode, you need a similar
incantation, unless some java-base-mode exists (it exists for some Emacs
modes, not sure if Java)
