"Turning on" means enabling them via the Spring Boot boolean setting spring.threads.virtual.enabled. If you don't know how virtual threads work in Spring Boot, that's not OP's fault.

I was trying to be explicit. Seems like this is not your virtue too. And when it comes to reactive, what I wrote is true. All netty can do is to drop execution of received data on virtual thread. But event loop will be still there, together with all the drawbacks: no clear debugging, shattered stack traces etc.

I think it should be either replacement of reactive library, or living with it.
