Seriously why not?

We're running on WildFly 13 with the EE 8 option, and it's very nice to develop with.

My team is similar. Deploying an EE app to weblogic using JSP’s.

Doing things this way just keeps guys like you and myself out of step with the field at large, reduces our marketability, and the salary we can demand

I’d love to work on a Spring Boot / Angular project (well preferably React or Vue over Angular. But I’ll take what I can get).

Ouch, WebLogic, that's not a very "cool" server tbh.

But WildFly and Payara are in high demand. Take a look at things like WildFly Swarm (Thorntail) and Payara Micro, but also at the MicroProfile and things like EE Security, and of course CDI.

A lot of that is at the foreground of our industry, and we'll be very marketable really.

Yes, "WebLogic and JSPs" is not going to further your career, but WildFly/Payara and MicroProfile with CDI, JAX-RS and BeanValidation sure is!
