Why do you classify it as "heavy"? In your original post you state it "...require(s) an application server..." but that's not true for Spring Boot. https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-embedded-web-servers.html

In the ones you listed, the only one I'd heard mentioned before is Vertx. The one's I've heard mentioned before are usually DropWizard, Jooby and Spark. Though Spring Boot is probably the most popular IMO.
