And Spring adds another layer in between you and the ORM, the web framework and the messaging framework - a layer that's heavily reflection-based and makes a ton of undocumented assumptions about how things are set up and throws cryptic error messages when those assumptions are violated.

You certainly can, but it is like a mechanic buying sets of tools from many manufacturers. The Spring framework modules share a consistency of conventions and documentation that is itself valuable. Like any opinionated framework, it's going to make assumptions that can cause headaches, but it's mature enough that most issues I run into are a Stack Overflow away.

I’ve seen gwt. It smells bad, but it seems supported still. Can you elaborate on your comment so I have conversation points next time I deal with that team?

Google hived off support to an open source foundation about a decade ago. It wasn’t well supported even before that for several years (I remember at one point they went through and closed all the open issues as Assumed Stale). They also loved to pivot best practices every year and stop developing the code that supported last year’s best practices.
